For Alpha Xi Delta, installation and initiation happen the same day.
I may be wrong on this point - someone tell me if I am - but sororities and fraternities seem to colonize differently. A sorority, unless it was a local first, is created by the Nationals coming down to campus and basically picking a big chapter out of interested women. They usually are installed in less than a year and may or may not pick up more women along the way.
Fraternities seem to start with a smaller group of men, and one of the goals of the colony is to recruit to a certain size, and only then are they chartered/initiated. Their colony period seems to last longer, up to a couple of years.
