Perhaps the colony started as an interest group, they let them get started with an NPC, and since the group didn't thrive, the school decided to reach out and do a ground up colonization with another group. As I said, I wouldn't blame the school for rethinking their relationship with an org that seems content to initiate women and then leave them twisting in the wind.

Sure, it may be an odd situation but I would be willing to bet that the truth is somewhere in between. Esp since they were told "next spring" - that's a year away! By then she'll have 2 years in and since she is a Junior, she'll pratically be gone anyway. Come on folks, there is more here than meets the eye.
The bolded = not the point. "Well I'll be gone, so who gives a rat's rump if the colony gets chartered or not?" If that was true, we wouldn't have people doing dances of joy when they read on here about their collegiate chapters being recolonized.
