I go to a WSU, and we have one of the bigger Greek Systems. I know that for guys, summer Rush is extremely competitive. They get most of their fall pledge classes from the summer signs.
For sororities, in the past couple of years, numbers have been down, but I hear this year we are going to have more women going through. I don't think that it's anywhere near as competitive as some of the Southern schools, fo one, we have been doing no frills rush for a couple years now. But the Chapters are still pretty competetive with each other. A couple of years back, you could easily see a spilt between the larger, more popular houses, and the smaller houses that had number 1/3 of others. In the last year or so, the number have stretched, from around 30 to 99 per Chapter. And between 14 houses, that's a big difference. It seems like the competition is pretty fierce around the board now, rather than one or two chapters duking it out for members and the other chapters taking what is left.
