I am confident that no NPC HQ is going to say "Here's your pledge class - go!" A great deal of time, money and energy goes into opening a new chapter. HQ wants that chapter to succeed, and will continue to provide support long after the charter is granted.
As to the social aspect, it has been my experience that being a new chapter means that the rest of the Greek system is very open to doing joint mixers/social events/philanthropies with the newbies. I'm sure a GCer who colonized will weigh in on that soon.
