I definitely think that's true at Michigan, but the Residential College does seem to be sort of a "sorority type" community where they have smaller classes together, live in the same dorm for two years, have foreign language immersion meals together and extra curricular activities set up right in their dorm. It is sort of an artsy/creative living community that you commit to for your first two years. It is designed to be a smaller college experience within the University of Michigan massive community.
I don't think being a hipster is a hindrance to Greek Life at Michigan (I think there are LOTS of hipsters at Michigan) but I think the live in requirements and additional activities might make it hard to do both.
