Even after pref night, there were 12 PNMs who were not matched because of single intentional preference.
Even with having 800 PNMs to begin with, quota was right around 60, not including quota + numbers. With nine chapters each getting around 60 members that means around 540 PNMs were given bids. So after all those who dropped (some really rapid, did I mention one day we had college game day on campus, talk about PNMs not showing up...), very few girls were actually released from recruitment.
While UO recruitment isn't a cake walk (is any?), we aren't talking SEC recruitment and by no means are recs required (yet).
It is still the basic, go through, keep an open mind, F*%& stereotypes/rumors, and maximise your options.

Yeah, that's the impresson I got from daughter as well and looking at the numbers that U of O provides on the website - it looks like out of the 38 total girls that were released over the last two years (11 in 2009 and 27 in 2010), 30 were released on bid day which I assume means they only put down one chapter after preference.
I have no idea what criteria the OP is using to decide whether or not she wants to go through rush - I just didn't want her to get scared off solely because she might think that getting cut from all the sororities happens commonly. It is still a pretty rare occurence at U of O.
That Stanford game in the middle of recruitment was a killer. Thank heavens this year they're playing away at UA during rush.
