It is very high. It seems like this kind of thing happens at campuses where there are only a couple sororities with really good "reputations" -- i.e. the chapters everyone wants to join -- and many more "undesirable" chapters for which women would rather remain independent than join.
I don't know Wittenburg, so I hope that's not the case, but my campus had a problem with that kind of culture developing my freshman and sophomore years. A lot of women chose to drop out of recruitment/SIP rather than join one of the four "bottom" chapters. There were only seven sororities total on my campus, so you can imagine how detrimental this mode of thinking was to greek life as a whole. Great for the "top" two chapters and the "okay" third chapter....but it nearly killed the "bottom" four chapters.
