My mom started college in 1951. Both her freshmen year and the year she was an RA, a couple girls on her floor left school right after recruitment because they didn't get the chapter they wanted, or were released. I know this was a different era, but her take was that it was an indication of priorities...the sorority experience (in at least one case the girl was cut from her legacy chapter) was more important than the college education itself, or graduating from that particular university. She brings up this story whenever anyone in the family goes through recruitment, as a cautionary tale about keeping an open mind and putting academics first.
