Colonies are often formed with young ladies that did not find a 'fit' with existing chapters. However, their values and academics are the same as every historical chapter.
In the PanHellenic spirit I would think any alums can donate time in a general capacity to benefit a colony.
I donate my time with several organizations. An individual should never think that they cannot help. The best volunteer organizers will maximize your contribution whether you have one or a thousand hours to give.
Please help give every young woman the opportunity to experience Greek Life.

Most of the KDs at WUSTL did not go through formal recruitment. It wasn't that they were dropped or that they dropped, it's that they never did it. If they had rushed earlier, they would have found homes. They're pretty awesome and WUSTL places most PNMs. KD is very lucky to have these women and to be on such a great campus.
It is true that they have had to form an identity as a new group, though. CAB has been watching them cohere as a group over the last year. It's been pretty amazing to watch.
I think the IU colonization will be similar, even though the campus is very different. Because IU has such a crazy system with bed quota, there will be a large number of available, interested women who are very qualified to be founding members of a new colony. There should be a lot of awesome women for the new colony to choose from. They'll have to work to form a group identity, but that's a huge opportunity for colony members.
