since my chapter was just recolonized last semester I have a little bit of experience with this topic. From what I have seen it comes down to a few things as to whether or not a colony is successful:
1. Dedication of the members...rebuilding a chapter (and their image on campus) is a LOT of work, for a colony to be successful you have to have guys that will do anything to make it a success.
2. Alumni support...while not as big as member dedication I think you still have to have great alumni support (even if it is from a small group of alumni) to make a colony successful. Our alumni have been really helpful in helping us try and build Rho-Omega back up, and we have even had some help from other TKEs that arent Rho-Omega Alums.
3. I think that the chapters around you at other schools also make it easier on a colony to become successful. I know that the guys from Clemson and a few other TKEs that I knew outside of the fraternity have really stepped up and helped me out personally offering suggestions and help whenever needed.
