Usually when a sorority colonizes, they want the colony at a competitive size before chartering. Each group is different. The most common figures that I have seen are either 2/3 or 90% of the largest sorority's size. Say the largest sorority has 40 members. That would mean that the AST colony needs either 27 (2/3 - rounded up) or 36.
It is possible for them to get those numbers but they need support and time. AST would not have chosen this group if they thought it wasn't worthwhile. A large amount of resources go into colonization and no one can afford to waste them. I am sure that AST is very supportive of this endeavor but the other Greeks on your campus need to be supportive as well. Gamma Delta is no more and they are now AST. I understand that it is hard to forget that they were Gamma Delta once. However, their 4 new members see them as AST. Support them in their choice by congratulating them and welcoming them to Greek life. AST is a great organization. They fill a niche just like all of our organizations do.
If for whatever reason the colony is dissolved, what happens next is up to those members and the rules governing organizations at NYU. The members could opt to reorganize Gamma Delta; they could form a new group entirely or decide to part ways.
