during some colonizations that happen during the fall, the colonizing sorority will be included in the first round events and their colonizing team will make a presentation to all the pnms. they explain the recruitment process for the colony, give the history of the organization-basic information. sometimes panhellenic will allow those pnms who are interested in joining the colony to drop out from formal recruitment after a certain round. Please understand that there is no guarantee that those that do drop out of formal will receive an invitation to be part of the colony.
i believe that these rules are determined by the campus panhellenic organization so it would vary from campus to campus.
I agree that colonizations hope to get a good mix of members from freshmen to seniors.
when you enroll in formal recruitment, usually there is a space on the form that asks if any of your relatives have greek affiliations. you could note that your "grandmother(deceased) was a ZTA", and of course, you should note any other family members who are greek.
if you do not find your home with another sorority during formal recruitment and give ZTA a chance, you could mention your grandmother's ZTA affiliation to your infoviewer(the alumna you would speak to to learn more about ZTA, and to let ZTA learn about you).
