Thank you for clarifying. It really came off badly in your original post.

Competitive usually means (among other things) you MUST have recs and will get heavily cut without them (no matter what the school or website says). Other hallmarks of a competitive recruitment are:

-They could charge an insane cost for it and tons of girls would still sign up.
-The school and Panhel has to do very little PR for rush - girls are chomping at the bit to join.
