All I can comment on was my own experience. Out of 18 chapters (25 years ago), we had 3 traditionally Jewish houses. None of them were considered bottom-tier. You are correct that many girls cut them based strictly on rumors (one girl I knew cut them because someone told her she would need to convert).
What has since happened is that all chapters now take large numbers of jewish girls. AEPhi is still there, but the two others have since closed. This is very sad because both had been there since the 1920s and one was a single-letter chapter. AEPhi does still fill a niche though and to this day, are not considered the bottom chapter.
I do need to comment that my school is very liberal, in the midwest and not considered competitive. In certain areas of the country or more conservative campuses, you will find what you described. Also, some 18-year olds as others have commented are very impressionable.
