If ABC left State or Arkansas, dyed-in-the-wool Greek families remember that.
Not making a value judgment on this, just pointing out what I've observed over the years.

the fact that people in Mississippi know this or CARES absolutely boggles my mind. Maybe its because im from the North (New York born and Jersey bred) but it amazes me how much people there care about this. A "reputation" of a group that failed at completely different school ACTUALLY makes a difference? wow. I understand not bringing back ZTA, but not bringing ABC that happened to fail at a nearby school that was never a chapter at Ole Miss? I dont mean to offend anyone, but it seems so silly in my mind.
On that note, as an Alpha Chi, i would love to see a chapter at Ole Miss. Our national would work hard to make it suceed- they worked tirelessly with our chapter, spent a ton of money and resources (national visitors, etc) to bring it up to speed. It seems to be working, as we got quota plus this semester. I dont know about money wise, but I think National could expend the manpower.
