Myth.
Most of these camps are for primary school aged kids, and have Jr. Councelors in that are in high school. While it exposes girls of a younger age to bonding in a co-ed environment, it might expose them early to the likeness of what it might be like to be in a sorority and those that enjoy it, might go on and do other female bonding activites throughout Jr. High and High School and continue that into college. My guess is too, that a lot of kids who attend these camps come from families that MIGHT have Greek background.
What I will say, however, is that a lot of these kids are Austin locals who all grow up together, these girls go on to rush, and rush their friends, etc. I have several friends that were in "Big Six" sororites, and not a one of them (and these are Austin locals) attended one of these camps.
Interesting topic, but I'm thinking urban legend.
