Of course my earlier statement was a hypothetical one based on everyone's observations that it would be "really hard for a group to recolonize because of their past reputation"
I guess it's just really disheartening to me that a campus panhellenic would vote to bring a group on, then vote to choose a group that had previously been on campus, then go talk about why they left campus in the first place. That's basically sabotaging an expansion by the people responsible for starting it in the first place!
Granted, if it was a group that left recently (like ZTA in 1999), there would still be stories floating around. But if the group left 20 or 25 years ago....who cares why the left in the first place? Why even worry about it?
I know people are human and they'll talk, but it's getting to the point that Ole Miss might be actually driving potential groups away with all this stuff.
Not to offend any Ole Miss'ers out there...but think about it. Sure, rumors will get to the PNMs, but I don't see why it matters that a group closed due to numbers even 10 years ago. That was in the past. Seems like if the current Greeks would refuse to perpetuate that, and if they would explain to the PNMs that what went on 10 years ago (with a previous group) means NOTHING to this new colonization, it would help things tremendously. Of course, this leads me to the topic that we don't often explain enough things to PNMs during recruitment, and that's just a soapbox I don't need to get on right now!!

Seriously, this isn't just attacking Ole Miss....it's in a lot of places. Nothing personal to any Ole Miss actives or alums.
