I guess any plan imaginable is
possible, though policies are not usually shaped by a few unusual exceptions. I just don’t know of any evidence to suggest that it is
common for girls released from recruitment at one school to participate in recruitment elsewhere two weeks later, or even that this would have any reasonable chance of success.
If that was the case, one might expect to see a lot of girls released from other recruitments enroll last-minute at Ole Miss, in order to take advantage of
their recruitment timing. Most alums I know (including those in chapters other than my own) follow the girls for whom they write recs, so if double recs and two recruitments within two weeks were common, I’m sure we would hear about it now and then.
Some girls probably do withdraw from school following a disappointing recruitment –over the years I have known of a few from other competitive SEC schools. As withdrawals are concerned, a delayed recruitment is financially advantageous to the university – at Ole Miss:
This is an incentive to complete the semester, anyway, which may lead to retaining some of these freshman beyond their first semester.
