I think that the past reputation will live on. I know that is what happened on my campus. When a sorority left , years before I went through rush, we all heard of the reasons, etc. Who knows if the 'reasons' were true, but we all know how rumors fly.
I think it may be better to start fresh, and to pick a group with a strong alum base near Oxford.

Every word absolutely right, XOAlum. None of the existing groups are going to bad mouth a new GLO.
There are several challenges to colonize at Ole Miss, but a major one here is going to be alum support. Oxford is such a tiny little town, it really exists to support the University. The population is pretty small, so not many alums of any group right in town. Jackson is the largest city in the state and has a number of alumnae, but it is 3 hours south. Memphis is only an hour north, which makes a big difference in drawing alum support.
