If you can make the time, I think it might be worth it (in so many ways) if you accepted the bid. First, you have the opportunity to mentor younger members. Second, you will gain a wealth of experience as you navigate the early stages of creating a new colony. Third, you will be part of a legacy - a founding father. Lastly, your participation doesn't end with graduation. You will be part of something that is bigger than you.

There is a multitude of positions and opportunities for a graduated/alumnus of a fraternity or sorority to be involved. If you choose, being newly graduated, you may be able to volunteer with your chapter. You may also choose to volunteer on a regional or national level (on a committee). At some point (ideally after all the members you knew as undergrads have graduated), you might even take on an advisory role. Not to mention the friendships and networking opportunities you will have for the rest of your life.

It is really a win-win for you and the fraternity. Not knowing much more about you, if someone saw enough in you to offer you a bid to colonize - and the powers-that-be from your I/NHQ know what they are doing - I'd proudly accept that bid.

Good luck in whatever you choose.
