Yes, B would appear to be more cutthroat.

Here's the issue:

There might be 19 sororities and 1000 PNM's going through. What usually ends up happening is that 6 out of 19 of these sororities are the ones that almost every PNM wants to join. These top 6 don't really have to work as hard unless they're competing with each other over the same girl. Since these top 6 can get whoever they want, they end up cutting many of the PNM's. For many of the PNM's, if they get cut by a sorority they are die-hard for, they will drop out of recruitment. This is why rush is considered so cutthroat at these larger greek schools. The competition between the PNM's is big. They compete against one another to show these sorority sisters that they've got what it takes to be in their sorority. The bigger chapters on this campus always make quota while the "less popular" chapters struggle to make quota. It's a vicious cycle. Many times, PNM's will go through rush with their mind made up on what chapters they will join without giving the "less popular" sororities a chance. They will have a ton of recs and have their mother or grandmother who were once an XYZ visit the chapter and bring in pictures of their little legacy so that the sisters know who she is. Since there is only so many spots open for these top chapters, many girls who are cut wind up very disappointed.
