This is correct. As a North Carolinian, Duke is basically considered a Northern school by many NC natives. UNC requires that 80% of undergrads be NC natives, so it has a far more southern atmosphere - far more southern, even, then say UVA (which I also know fairly well). UNC is not a "southern recruitment" to the extent of SEC schools, but from my limited knowledge of Greek Life there I definitely think it could hurt you. I think you will find it a teensy bit more laid back, though, than say Bama or something.
The thing about NC is that like Georgia it's a "New South" state so there's a divide between new-ish residents of places like Charlotte, Raleigh, and (especially) Cary, and between the old school small town high society thing. I'm not 100% sure how this plays out in UNC recruitment, but I'm sure it's a factor.
