While I went to school out west, my entire family went to Ole Miss. Even back in the 70's it was super competitive. So competitive than many a girl would drop out if they didn't get the sorority of their and transfer elsewhere...this is why the administration moved rush to mid-October for years and years. Last year was the first time, I think, it was pre-classes and this year is the first time pre-classes in person.
Many a girl would pledge at less competitive schools, as mentioned by others and try to transfer in and affiliate. Did not always work.
The one thing that happens at Southern schools and everywhere is the girl so set, as written earlier, on one chapter and they don't budge. A girl went thought rush at my school - a double Gamma Phi legacy. She was released after the 3rd round, she dropped out. Then she went through her sophomore year, same story, same result. I met her that year through friends and she became almost angry when she learned I was a Gamma Phi and that I had no connections to the chapter or sorority - like "how did you get in when I had all the connections." She was a sour personality and while we had many wonderful chapters at my school, I'm not sure anyone would have wanted that type of person as a sister.
