W&L alum here.
Whether or not rush is "competitive" at W&L depends on your definition of competitive. If you're looking at the number of girls who get bids, it's somewhat competitive. If you're looking at the number of girls who were completely cut from all houses, it's not really competitive at all (usually there's less than 7 [out of about 300-350 rushing] who get totally dropped). If you're looking at girls who all want to get into the same houses, it's unbelievably competitive. A LOT of girls drop out because they were left with "bad" houses, and then later claim they were "cut" from recruitment (I will NEVER understand this).
The thing is, though, that all the houses are really great. The addition of ADPi has really helped this, and kind of shaken up the status quo. IF you go into recruitment with an open mind, or at least willing to consider ALL your options [going in with a truly open mind is impossible with a deferred rush and a small, gossipy campus], and without a bad reputation from Fall Term [yes, we will all know THAT GIRL and no, none of us want her in the house], chances are good for you to get a bid, and if you let yourself, you will have a great four years, no matter which house you end up in.
Also, I had two friends who were independents, and they enjoyed W&L.
