Don't have any Ole Miss stats, but when Alpha Phi colonized at Bama, there was an
unusual number of withdrawals during recruitment -- more than any since 2003 and even since that time with higher PNM numbers every year.
Probably many of those who withdrew
did intend to pursue the colonization -- and many apparently did so. Around 75% of Alpha Phi's new members had participated in formal recruitment. Stats:

For one thing, I wouldn't be surprised if many upperclassmen withdrew during the process, especially since Ole Miss does not have an upperclassmen quota.
No doubt that tent talk can take a toll. It's difficult to feel bad for those girls who approached the process with an "XYZ or bust" attitude or let tent talk guide their decisions, but perhaps some will become wiser and reconsider their decision
not to participate in Greek life at Ole Miss.
