I think you have to prioritize what is important to you in order to make this decision. All of these things that people mentioned are important: cost of tuition, living on/off campus, academic reputation and programs, location, etc. But the question is what is important to you!
While I think that going Greek is a great enhancer for anyone's college experience and certainly was for me, I personally did not look at the quality of the Greek system when deciding where to go to school. A lot of people probably rank the quality of the Greek system higher on their list when deciding though, and like anything it has to be an individual decision. From my own personal experience, my highest priority was academic reputation and programs. I wanted to make sure that my college experience was going to help me reach my full potential and get me the kind of job I wanted to have.
The job market is tight out there for college graduates especially these days and every little academic advantage can mean the difference to you in making a solid start in achieving your career goals.
You seem like you have a lot going for you, and I wish you all the best in making your decision!
