I don't think anyone is saying that the academics etc are super turbo awesome, more that these are the places w/ the most competitive rushes (and therefore the most fun for rush-crazy women to talk about).
It's like if this was a basketball forum we'd actually use the word Gonzaga on a regular basis.
As of those ones you listed, I'd say UVA, Vanderbilt, Penn and Dartmouth have the most prominent (rather than thriving) Greek life. You have to realize that at a lot of the schools mentioned, there's a club system within the schools that is the true elite and the Greeks are second-class. Not sure if you have a subscription to Highbeam but if so you can read this:

Even at Dartmouth, I don't think that whether a GLO is local or not matters as far as its place in the pecking order is concerned, which is an offshoot of that sort of thing.
