It just seems (to me) to make the most sense that the strongest alumnae base would come from women who were in the chapters that had been at Ole Miss, but folded (or at least that they would have more alumnae in the area than would a group that had never been on the campus). I know that wouldn't necessarily be true, but it seems that these Southern women seem to stay in the area - they grow up there, go to school there, then raise their families there. So the question is, where are the alumnae from the chapters that folded? Just because the chapter isn't there doesn't mean the alumnae aren't there. At least that's the reasoning in my mind.

ETA: Upon rereading the thread (it had been so long since I first read it!) OleMissGlitter makes the point that these alumnae are there and would be willing to support a new chapter.
