I have to state that I absolutely detest the “emerging chapter” business. It reminds me of the chest burster in Alien.

Plus it’s another term you can’t turn into a verb easily. “A chapter is emerging at Foo Foo State” sounds ridiculous. Plus, you don’t know if it’s going to be a chapter until it charters. Same problem with “provisional” or “associate.”

If “colony“ isn’t PC or something. how about a different term that doesn’t usurp “chapter”?
