Of the 10% or so that did, it was pretty split between the girls being released and the girls removing themselves from the process.
Colonies are not just the "left overs" from recruitment -- though, for PNMs that slip through the cracks during formal recruitment, they can be a great way to step into the Greek system.

I assume you were not at Alabama -- and I also assume that when your colony formed it was represented by members of
all classes (not just freshmen or sophmores who went through formal recruitment that year).
Please note that I had something positive to say about girls released from recruitment -- I was not passing judgement regarding
why they were released.
And yes, at Alabama, girls who are released from recruitment can be very important to the launch of a chapter new to campus (especially freshmen). They are interested in joining a sorority, obviously, as otherwise they would not have participated in recruitment.
