At Nebraska, we have one of the top IM programs in the country with something like 80 different sports/competitions. The importance placed on IM varies from house to house. Some houses have people at everything, while other houses don't care and end up forfeiting nearly every game.
Luckily the Campus Rec people recognized this and a couple years ago formed divisions (Red, White, Black, Gray). The system is now like the one used in soccer in foreign countries. the top team in one division moves up to the next division, and the last place team moves down one division...however the winner of the Red division is the IFC IM champ.
Really the competition for IM champ comes down between Pike, ATO and Phi Psi. Pike has way more people so they never miss anything, while ATO sends their pledges to things like Badminton and horseshoes, and phi psi somehow manages to stay in the hunt by actually winning outright the things they compete in, while giving up points for participation.
For the rest of the houses, like say in the White division (the 2nd division), which is the division my house is in...the chapters compete in the major sports, and usually hold their own. We at Beta have a few sports that we take seriously and always have strong showings.
As you get into the Black and Gray divisions the houses put fewer teams together for each sport, and are far more apathetic to the whole IM thing.
