We didn't have a school approved Greek system where I went to college at the time I went there. There was one, but it was off campus. I've heard since that the administration seems to experiment with recognizing Greek letter clubs from time to time. No doubt that even then administration is hostile to these groups. However, they do not seem to mind having other clubs. The difference according to the administrators is that the other clubs are usually reserved for upperclassmen while the Greek letter clubs target freshmen as soon as they hit campus. The University doesn't let freshmen and sophomores do shit.
Anyway, the word on that playground is that greek letter fraternities were beginning to act as the minor league farm system for some of the other clubs that about 75 percent of the upperclassmen belong to.
