Somewhat....

Receiving your charter at convention is like saying your colony has been accepted onto the 'roll' of chapters (after your group petitions for it obviously). At convention, the colony receives it's charter and a name (I.E., our Omega Tau Phi colony was granted its charter at Marco Island, FL, Convention 1994 and became the Zeta Zeta chapter of Beta Theta Pi. A.E.bot's is Alpha Epsilon of Beta Theta Pi.) Then, to celebrate the chartering, the now 'chapter' hosts an Installation Banquet, to go through rituals.....then to celebration.

Hope that explanation helps!
