Kind of random, but you aren't by any chance at Greensboro College are you?
You could always go to nearby schools with a Greek system and find out more about how it works and how it operates. Chances are if the school has a Greek life office, then it will at least say that it supports Greek life on its campus - find out what the reasons the school supports Greek life are, take it back to the dean, and basically make the case that "if they have X, Y, and Z there, we could have X, Y, and Z here." There have also been studies that show that Greek alumni typically contribute more in donations to their alma mater than non-Greeks. At a private college especially, I imagine that that argument would carry a lot of weight.
