Aye, I know that we start planning for Greek week at least 3 months ahead of time (chorister meetings, fundraising, planning, panhel/ IFC debates, etc). If they're a new colony, theyre probably fresh out of New Member training. I would have lost my mind if I had to do pledging AND plan out Greek week events for the chapter. It's probably just a time conflict with when their colonization began.
But happy colonization
ETA: as a colony, are they not "associates" of the fraternity council, and as such, may be prohibited from participation? (just asking, not sure how that works for the rest of the world?)
