I'm encounter the "Greek life system" term, to be used as you describe, for the first time here and now (for I'm nearly 30). So believe me, i found this use of the term very odd.

I never said that I know everything in the world and I have no means to criticize or do anything negative against this forum, I am here for the answer on the above said question.

Nevertheless, the title of this thread is "This forum is for various discussion topics regarding greek life". What do you expect me to think?
The names of most fraternities and sororities are represented by Greek letters. The specific reason(s) behind any particular combination of letters are generally only known to the members of a given fraternity or sorority. For example, the first such organization to adopt a Greek-lettered name was Phi Beta Kappa, now an honor society. Their name stands for the phrase "philosophia biou kybernetes" and was represented by the initials FBK.

You'll no doubt notice, however, the logo in the upper left corner of your screen states: "The Fraternity & Sorority Greek Chat Network."
