If women who are cut early from, say, ABC, DE, FGH, and IJK stay in recruitment, is it pretty likely that almost all of them can find a sorority that likes them and where they can feel comfortable and have a good experience?

I was just thinking about this. I guess therefor that the term competative means to get into the "right" house.
I do understand that greek life is different other places and i have heard that what house you are in determines a lot about being in leadership positions/homecomming queen ect. But if a person just wanted to join a sorority for friendship and did not care about homecomming or other things and just really wanted a place to find friendship then how hard would it be to find a house. To say, if i went through rush at a SEC school and kept my options open and did not care about getting the house with the homecomming queen or the house that parties with the "good" frat on campus would i get a bid if i made it through preffs (say i got invits and attended all the preff parties that i could, what then would be the chances of me getting a bid.
It seems to me its about keeping options open and if i am going through rush to find friendship and not just be in the right house then it would be my choices that would make rush competative. Or am i missing something. I just am thinking that you could consider my school competative if you only wanted a few of the 16 houses. At my school almost everyone got bids. However, pproblems occured when PNM's only wanted ABC or DEF then they have to comptet for one of 60 spots open instead of say the other 420 spots that are open.
