There is no such thing as a "non-competitive" school. That would imply that everyone who rushes gets into the sorority they want. That does not happen anywhere.

I think you know what I meant by non-competitive. AKA- Not a school with 1200+ PNMs, 12+ sororities, etc.

I don't think it is necessarily a size thing. Illinois is the biggest FR in the country, but I would not call it "competitive". Many women going through have no recs, sophomores (and even juniors) regularly get bids, and PNM's can sign up as late as the day rush begins.

Now, I think this largely stems from the lack of anybody caring what chapter you are in post-college 'round these parts, but the "top" chapters were not set in stone, and almost nobody I knew had much preparation for FR.

^^Exactly. There are schools with less than 5 sororities (who usually have all been there since the dawn of time) and less than 1200 rushees that are far from being "noncompetitive."
