Neither.
To me a strong greek system means that the Greeks are doing well - chapters aren't in trouble of going under, Greeks are
visible on campus (ie random people on campus tell you that they know people in their classes or campus organizations are greek), and most importantly, Greeks are excelling in the classroom and on campus. This means the All-Greek/All-fraternity/All-sorority GPA's are higher than the All-Campus/All-men's/All-women's GPA's, and that greeks are overrepresented (at least by % of students who are greek) on things like Student government, Senior Honorary societies, Homecoming Royalty, New Student orientation leaders and the like.
Basically, a strong greek system means that students are better off and more successful if they join than if they don't.
