Hi Pinoy,
My chapter recieved our charter just a short while ago, and I'd be glad to share my experience! For my sorority, it takes a year of being a colony to become a chapter. During the colony period, the prospective chapter has to work hard on establishing itself, just as any established chapter would, by organazing and implementing rush, philanthropy projects, information sessions for university officials, establishing a chapter advisor, to name a few goals. All of these things are a way for prospective members to bond, and learn about the organization (history, founders, etc.).
Hope that gives you an idea!

I'm glad to see a post about this. I just received word that we are having a meeting at my univ to see about starting a sorority colony. I am very excited that there will finally be a sorority out there for ME!! I was curious, though, when does a colony become an actual chapter? How does that part work?
Additionally, any advice from other founders out there??
