			My chapter's founding fathers were actually the second group of men from our university to petition SAE for a charter.  The first group was unsuccessful, though a record of their attempt is still filed in our national archives at HQ.  Since over half of our chapter's founders were already connected in some way to SAE, they applied, were recognized as a colony of SAE within 6 months of the local founding date, and got the charter about two and a half years later.
