After that, it's up to the member organization whether or not they want to persue colonization of that chapter.

But if the majority of members in a group (say SAI) joins an NPC (while keeping their SAI membership) and is devoting more time to it, time they used to devote SAI, well, SAI is probably going to get screwed. I think that's why sometimes there are service or professional GLOs that look down on their members joining social GLOs - they've been burned in that way in the past and they don't want it to happen again.
Plus on some campuses, SAI is pretty much exactly like a social except they don't participate in Panhel rush. What would most likely happen is the women in a chapter like this would stay in SAI, it would just change from being more social to being more of a professional/resume thing.
And as you said in your earlier post, you're absolutely right - we and the other groups joined later and had to go by the rules already in place. That doesn't mean that I don't sometimes wonder if it was the right decision.
