How long did it take you to go from interest group to colony to chapter status? Did you have to be a functioning org on campus for x number of months? Was this longer, shorter or the norm for your org and your campus as a whole?

I am a founder of my chapter and, during the colony stage, we had goals to accomplish in order to be eligible for our charter. We received the notice that were we selected as a colony in April 1993. We were colonized in Sept 1993, and received our charter on May 1, 1994. It depends on how hard the colony works to accomplish the goals set for by the organization. Other colonies take a little longer, but the goal is usually one school year. It really shouldn't take longer than that, truthfully.
We didn't have to have been a local for any period of time. One school year from colonization to chartering was about the average on our campus.
