That is precisely what the delayed recruitment was meant to prevent. And once upon a time, in the bad old days before social media, those girls that dropped out of Ole Miss were headed to a different school to rush again! Never could decide how they lined up two separate sets of recs.

It is a logistical nightmare, but I know a family who did precisely this. The young lady is from Louisville and she chose an out of state SEC as her "first" school. I know they had two sets of recs, I was one of her Sigma Kappa recs. If she had not gotten into one of her "favorite" chapters, the back up plan was a midwestern university with a lesser competitive Greek system and a later start date and recruitment. She would be able to find out the results of her SEC recruitment before having to report to the midwestern school.

I know someone that did this at Indiana, even! She went through recruitment as a freshman, suicided and didn't get a bid. Went through recruitment as a sophomore, suicided again and didn't get a bid. She dropped out of IU after her sophomore year and transferred to UK, where she magically became a member of an NPC group in fall of her junior year
