Contacting internationals etiquette

This might sound like an incredibly stupid question to some, but I wondered what the etiquette advice might be with regard to how often an interest group contacts their prospective internationals (one's they aspire to).

See you can't go contacting them [IMO] too much because a) they're a lot busier than you, with a potentiallly three figure number of actual chapters to deal with plus b) if you're contacting them v. often it can look like you run to them every five minutes there's a problem which wouldn't exactly inspire confidence in you as a potential chapter or leader of said potential chapter and which'd I should think hurt your chances when it came to them judging your petition for a charter.

On the other hand, if you don't contact them and a huge amount of time goes between the last time you did then it just looks like you've disappeared off the face of the earth to them I guess and they'd think you're not really interested or something.
Wondering how to strike a balance I suppose. Maybe it's really important to only speak when there's something really substantial to share with them but pivotal things don't happen every day?

Well thanks for any input .
