It really depends on what the administration wants to do. When Tusculum opened a few years ago, only one NPC group colonized and it didn't seem to take. No further efforts have been made. On the other hand, UT-Tyler decided to add three groups at once because they felt that that was best for them. It seems to have turned out great.

IIRC, the colonization recruitment process there was a little different then other multiple colonizations that I have seen. The three groups held recruitment at the same time similar to formal recruitment but a bit more involved with interviews. The process was detailed on the UT-Tyler web site so I am sure that it is in cache somewhere.
