Hi JM,
I think your situation is consistent with my statement. The original poster's question suggested that colonization had not even been formally started yet. If it has, he has been left woefully out of the loop.
What you are saying, if I read correctly, is that you are already a colony. And so now it is just a matter of whatever game plan your GLO has- which also indicates you are receiving guidance and support from HQ and advisors (something the OP does not seem to have at present.)
In any event, best of luck to you and your colony. I hope you guys do well.
FWIW, I have observed both fast and slow colonization efforts with my GLO. But the latest trend seems to be for HQ to drop in to help a core group of guys recruit heavily during rush under our own "balanced man" initiative (which is required of new chapters, but optional for existing chapters.)
I have to say it appears to have been wildly successful. By taking this more aggressive approach with more immediate HQ and advisor involvement (and with a more impressive presentation to rushees about what a fraternity can be beyond the parties), there have been many instances where a single rush yielded 40+ guys and then they just took off from there.
Compared to what I saw 10 years ago, this seems to be a new approach- at least for my GLO. But again, I am not sure even this is is in the works with the OP since he is reporting that he has been given vague notions at best as to plans to re-colonize.
Makes me think of the old rush adage- There are 2 kinds of fraternities during rush. The ones with massive houses and the ones who tell rushees there are plans "in the works" to build a massive house in the near future.
