And I'm not sure of the time frame, but presumably either Alpha Xi Delta or Alpha Gamma Delta will be colonizing next fall and they will want members from all 4 years of college. There has been discussion about whether the older students have an easier or tougher time getting a colony bid because we don't know how many try, but regardless SOME juniors and seniors will be invited to join the colony.
That being said, colony membership isn't for everyone and I'd do lots of reading about it here on GC. It's a lot of work but the commensurate rewards can be substantial. And with Alpha Xi Delta you get a really cool colony pin. Just sayin
