i would think that you'd be a little more selective in choosing women to be founding members - its a lot of work (and a little different, for the first few years in the way they recruit and interact) and id hope that org would want strong PNMs (ie. the "fell through the cracks" women). you get that by having an invite-type selection vs. "hey sign up if you wanna be APhi!"
The process is usually different.. I know for Chi O, they went through regular recruitment but then had a separate colonizing recruitment. There is an informational, an invite process then a "bid day".

And yes, it is a lot more selective. I know nearly 200 girls went through the separate colonizing recruitment for Chi O and of those, only 30 or so were selected. They advertised but it was not a 'anyone' can get in. But I can't imagine colonizing at Bama!
