In my org, there are certain steps that must be taken and requirements that must be met before a colony is granted chapter status. I've seen some colonies become chapters within a year and a half; some 3 or more years (don't really have an average number). It all depends on how quickly that colony gets its work done.
(sorry to make your simple question complicated, ha)
