Doubtful, unless it's a "do or die" sort of school, and as we've seen here, that may not even be worth the effort. I doubt very much that my sorority will ever try an immediate recolonization again unless there are very special circumstances. And now that this practice has been brought to light on a nationwide basis, any group that tries it would just be foolish.

I think the university would have allowed a recolonization if it would have happened immediately (i.e. this spring) and if the women would have had their housing question taken care of by the national sorority and the Delta chapter house corp. This whole thing just showed a serious lack of planning.
