*Every sorority does this differently, but it's usually determined by average chapter size. Example: if every chapter on campus is about 100 girls, they'll take at least that and possibly more. It depends on the size they need.

*How long it takes varies per the national organization's policies and the goals that the colony has to meet in order to be installed. In Sigma, this usualy takes about a semester, but it depends on how things go and if goals are being met.

*There are goals that must be met, but what those are depend on the national organization and the goals it sets. Also, there will be consultants and advisors assisting the colony every step of the way. So the members have plenty of help.
