Group reputation is so strong at a school like Bama, and if you start out with the reputation of pledging anyone that didn't get a bid somewhere else, it's hard to shake that image, isn't it?

Well there might be lots of upperclassmen that did not go through recruitment who would be a great asset to a new colony. Usually in a colony they have a large mix of freshmen and then upperclassmen. I know that's what AOII at Arkansas did. I think most NPC groups tend to have some upper classmen in their colony group to help distribute leadership and women who are already involved on campus. Also, there is always a handful of "prime" PNMs who might decide not to go through recruitment just to be a part of a new colony and to be considered a "founding member" of a chapter. Sometimes it’s just as cool to be a part of the newest sorority on campus as it is to be a part of the oldest sorority on campus.
