I joined a local sorority that later became a chapter of a national sorority.
An interest group approached Panhel with the goal of becoming a new colony of AEPhi. Panhel didn't want to bring a new national to campus, but invited the group to form their own local sorority and petition again later. It was this local that I joined.
A year and a half or so later, we discussed the possibility of petitioning again. We met with Panhel, who gave their blessing. We met with national officers from AEPhi (as a group, no individual interviews). After that meeting, we voted to affiliate with AEPhi, and the national officers voted to invite us to become a colony. The following spring, we became members of AEPhi.
The process, from initial interest to actually becoming a colony, took a little under two years - but we weren't actively seeking national affiliation for 100% of that time, so it could be done in less time.
There's a thread over in the rush forum called "Rush at UCSC" - check it out.
