if people are saying that greek life is "almost dead" at ucsc, then i would guess that it is not super competitive.

incidentally, if you are referring to npc sororities, you don't choose which ones to "rush for". during the recruitment process you meet all the sororities and you rank which sororities you would like to revisit, while the sororities are deciding who they would like to see again. a word of caution: it is in your best interest to wait until you are actually participating in recruitment before you make up your mind about which sorority you want to join.
