See, I don't think that it was though. I'm fairly young (graduated college 2003), but I talk to people who were Greeks at a bunch of different schools over a bunch of different time periods (70s, 80s, 90s, etc.), and I've heard stories from all of those time periods about secrecy being a problem with certain people in certain chapters.
It's not that collegiate Greeks (or college students for that matter) are less responsible than in the past; I think it's more an issue that we tend to gloss over our experiences as we get older, and forget that some of the same issues existed.
ETA: Not to harp on the point, but I always get a little squeamish when people (especially those in their late 20s, 30s and even 40s) start piling on the current college students. For me it's right up there with "You'll understand when you're my age."
