I think that sometimes happens because a "bad recruitment" (this has also happened for NPHC aspirants) is a sign of a larger issue. People who feel rejected by life will be easy to drop everything when things don't work out. They have no more fight in them because life has already kicked their ass.

I put the people who transfer or drop out because of GLO rejectment in the same pool of people who lose their minds because they breakup with their college sweetheart. These tend to be people with depression issues and/or people who didn't come to college for college's sake (i.e. career prospects). They focused too heavily on the overall college experience and potentially finding friends via a GLO or finding their future spouse.
