I don’t get this mindset. I went to a small college with what would be considered a non competitive rush. None of us went to tons of inter-chapter or interschool Greek conferences or anything like that. Yet even as collegians, we all knew that there were some chapters of our group and some entire campuses where none of us would have had a snowball’s chance at getting in. And this is long before you could look on the Internet!! The parents who think like this must be the same ones who’ve forgotten what a snake pit adolescence in general can be.
