The way I understood it, though I'm not sure if I'm correct, is that if a campus is open to expansion you can't bar anyone who wants to colonize from colonizing. I didn't think this meant anyone could colonize at any time. Before I joined Delta Chi, I looked into starting a new NIC colony on my campus and most expansion programs need support from the IFC and Greek Adviser to get off the ground.

The way its been portrayed to me here is that we opened up for expansion in Spring 2007 when my fraternity colonized and will be open until Spring 2010. Since we colonized, AKL and SAE came in the 2007-2008 year. Last Fall one group failed to colonize and the group that is currently trying to colonize has very low membership goals, so we prercieve greek life to be coming to a natural satturation point.

Of course this is just how I've understood the process to work, I don't claim to be an expert.
