Colonies cost a lot of money! Just within the last 10 years I think they've sped this process up an amazing amount. Not long ago a semester long colony was (I think) the norm. Now it's weeks. If they didn't attract the girls they wanted and felt like they would be working at a deficit right out of the shoot, we're talking about thousands of dollars extra that would need to be spent.
And I think, just my opinion, that certain sororities have a reputation they have to meet right out of the gate. ZTA is so big all over the south that going in as bottom rung would be seen as a bigger failure than if a Phi Sig or other northern sorority did. I mean, what would you expect out of a fish out of water sorority? Of course it's going to take them time to get established. I don't know that ZTA would have been given the same grace period.
