Well, I know at my school, our Greek system is huge. The way that it is set up is that the minimum NPC GPA to rush is about the same as it takes to get into the University, so anyone can rush. Quota is set so that every girl who goes through rush is guarenteed a bid by at least one of the two houses that she gets on preference night. However, there are girls who don't get bids because they go suicide on preference night (instead of ranking their two houses first and second, they only put down one house and that house cuts them when normally they would have automatically gone to the 2nd house). I think only 5 girls who went through all of rush did not get bids, and they all went suicide with their first choice and got cut. We had almost a thousand girls rush, and I think by the end we were down to 850-900ish just cause some girls dropped out after not getting the house they wanted. It's really not all that cutthroat, but these girls come in with a preconception that a certain house is better when they could be completely wrong. Of the 12 houses we have here, I would only say that 2 of them would be called "bad" houses to be in by the rest of the Greek community. I would also say that I think that all of the sororities here on our campus work their tails off for formal recruitment. Yeah, some might have better reps than others to some of the incoming girls (especially the ones that have been here the longest who have lots of legacies), but if they don't look polished, then people are just going to be like "yeah, whatever...you guys aren't that great". I know that happened with a bunch of my friends who all went in thinking a certain one would be awesome, but then they saw the others and realized that there are several good ones.
