Either under-whipped egg whites, too low oven temperature, or you keep opening the oven door to check on the souffle (lowering the oven temperature). Souffles should not drop whilst in the oven, if souffles do fall it should be a few minutes after they have been removed from the oven... You may just have a peculiar oven, or a bad recipe.

A just cooked souffle is full of air, rough treatment can knock the air out or simply the passage of time will allow the air to escape, which is why a souffle should be served immediately after it is cooked and not stored or kept warm for later.
