As far as AEPhi is concerned, I think it's probably a little different because many of their colonies specifically want a historically Jewish sorority.
- LOL @ "when Noah was building the ark" - I don't think the greek system has been around quite that long

- AEPhi doesn't give Greek-letter chapter designations until the chapter is chartered (unless, of course, it's a recolonization, in which case the chapter gets its original designation back). My initiation certificate reads "MIT Colony" where a chapter designation would go.

- Your point about AEPhi initiating colony members is probably correct. An up side is that, even if the colony is never chartered, its members can enjoy all the privileges of alumnae, such as their sisters/daughters/granddaughters being considered legacies.
