I know that in my fraternity, you'd be in a *very* select group of people who would wear brother and Petitioning Group (our equivalent of colonies) pins side by side. I know that my advice to someone in your position is to *not* let the colony push you into becoming president of the colony, but perhaps to be willing take a more minor office (treasurer or a membership position (the pre-pledgemistress?)). I'd also suggest talking with whoever Alpha Xi Delta has that is running the extension effort before you talk to the members of the colony.
