Pretty much the same. As a whole, academia and the law don't view Greeks well, unless they themselves were Greek. You shouldn't let this stop you from joining. Many Greek groups throw semi-regular professor networking events or award their professors for their great teaching/mentoring as a way to promote good relationships.

The reason for the historically poor view of Greeks are the isolated yet well publicized acts of sheer stupidity and poor decision making involving alcohol, neglecting studies or being disrespectful. Cops tend to have a negative view of fraternity men because of noise complaints, DUIs and underage drinking-- things that go on at any college campus, but ones that are especially publicized if they occur at a fraternity house. There's a lot of mystery surrounding what happens in those selective Greek groups, so people like to pin stereotypes or are just perversely curious as to what they are doing.
