I have witnessed this. I recall one rush where "the chapter everyone wanted" kept goofing up and goofing around in their skit. It was awful and the adults kept cutting their eyes around at each other as if to say, "I do NOT believe how bad this is." Yet the rushees were laughing merrily and desperately, anything to please the sorority girls. And then I realized that that chapter could have gone up there and had nothing but competitive burping and the rushees would have desperately wanted them.
Whereas the weaker chapters could've been brilliant and witty and sparkled in their conversations, etc., and they still would've been dropped.
