I agree with this too. I knew very few girls who dropped out completely after the first two rounds because they were cut from a particular group. I can think of two girls that left school though. One was cut completely and the other didn't get the one she wanted--though I think it was really not the one her mother wanted...she was happy on bid day, but her mother stayed in her ear. She left Ole Miss before she was initiated. I heard later that she transferred to another school and the same thing happened. I think she finally landed in one that was acceptable to her mother at her 3rd school. It was sad really. I can't imagine going through recruitment 3 times.
I had a very positive experience going through Ole Miss recruitment. Even though it was many years ago, the tent talk was probably just as bad then, if not worse. I wasn't sure two new colonizations would work at Ole Miss. I am glad to see that ADPi is doing well and I hope that Alpha Phi does well too. When I was there, it always seemed to me that much of the tent talk was from girls who were either from Mississippi, or from surrounding states that have a large number of enrolled students at Ole Miss. With out of state enrollment increasing, I think that has helped with the tent talk.
