DeltAlum is right...it depends on the circumstances that the chapter originally closed.
I've worked with two chapters of LXA...one was closed for a minimum of 5 years, and "when campus conditions warrant the return"...in reality, it took 11 years for the recolonization to proceed.
In another instance, the chapter that was recently closed made arrangements with the campus to begin recolonization in 4 years...during the interim, the campus is leasing the house.
Whatever the conditions...my experience has taught me valuable lessons in recolonizing...first, be patient, second, communicate with the campus and GLO frequently, third, be ready to work extremly hard when the time comes to recolonize, and fourth, get a strong alumni base in place for the process to be successful.
