Similar changes have occured in America, the first college (small place) I went to, actually had an on campus bar in the 1980’s. Hell would freeze over before that happens now. Our dorm suite was a cross between a trap house and party central, I’ll leave it at that, I don’t know what the statue of limitations are.
As far as greek life, its strong at most large traditionally structured schools, and the further south you go in America the bigger it is.

There are exceptions to this, such as commuter schools and liberal arts colleges, but at a lot of places it seems ~20% are in greek life. It is kind of obnoxious as far as it goes, but you can go from having a 3.0 GPA in American Studies to a job on Wall Street thanks to Fraternity connections, so even if the Animal House lifestyle and incestutious dating circles with various Sororities isn’t your thing, there are some benefits such as having a large social circle and more kids in Greek life graduate that those who aren’t, probably because the organization has to have a mean GPA to stay eligible with the school. Lots of Brothers that I met were genuinely good people on all accords but different fraternaties have different vibes or cultures and some of them can be total dicks, but it varies from school to school, the artsy frat at one school might be the pre business/law kids at another school.
We have co-ed frats that mirror what goes on in the UK as far as student organizations
