Seems to me that individual chapters have more variance than that, but perhaps that is just at the universities with which I am familiar...
In my limited experience, some fraternity chapters really do stay consistent over time. Barring being kicked off campus or serious problems and punishments from the university, they really can expect to keep getting the same type guys. It's kind of based on a hometown feeder system in which so many guys from certain high schools grow up with relatives in the chapter that they don't have much to worry about.

Some of the chapters are really old and have pulled the same type guy for most of their history.

Now, I can't say if they'd keep getting them if they weren't affiliated nationally. I think many of the guys are a little more interesting the ideals of the founders than sasquach
