At my school strong groups will habitually COB and hold informal recruitment in the spring because it's campus culture, but they could easily get along without it.

This totally hits the nail on the head.
At the supercompetitive schools, the chapters are large enough that IMO, if you can't find at least ONE person you have something in common with, you're not really trying. And it is true, that freshman year rush is often your best chance and things are downhill after that.
But at noncompetitive schools with smaller chapters, there are definitely sororities that would be super for rushee A but a horrible fit for rushee B, and vice versa.
