Hello
 

Greetings everyone!
I am a sisterfriend who's new here to GreekChat and I can say already that I love it. To start off I have a question rather than a comment. I have been curious as to exactly what a COLONY is and is it the same as being a chapter? I have noticed that some Organizations have refered to themselves as being colonies but I never understood what it was. I am eager to get to know everyone and can't wait to get some convo of my own started! God Bless!

Organizations use different names to describe groups of members and/or interested parties who have gathered together with the purpose of establishing/chartering a chapter. In Alpha Kappa Alpha, we use the term interest group. When I was trying to start an AKA undergraduate chapter in my area, a group of Sigmas were trying to do the same at their school and their were called a colony, so it really depends on the organization and what they decide to call these groups.
