I'll bite too- Very similar to what "Im old" said. We got paper invites that we accepted or declined. A girl could be carried all the way through only to be cross cut at the end and go without a bid. Sororities wore matching outfits and rushees wore hose and heels in sweltering heat. My junior year was the first year a computer was used (90/91) to do matching / invites and boy was it a mess. My sister had an invite on one day to a house that did not have her on their party list until the next day. Overall probably more competitive because of the fact that "Top" houses could carry girls that they really had no intention of bidding all the way through then drop them right before pref while the girl had already cut her other choices leaving her with zero options. It was stressful... but at the same time there didn't seem to be as much emphasis on tiers and "top houses" - with the exception of a handful of instate girls that had legacy status or high school connections you were happy to get a bid anywhere.
