Congrats and Phi Alpha on getting the Colony set up!!!
The only couple of things I can think of to suggest are to network as quickly and as thoroughly as possible with local alumni (try contacting your local area alumni association, or pm me if you need help with this), see if there are any alumni from the chapter before it was temporarily closed who would be willing to help, and get your name out on campus. Everybody always tells the same story about only getting one chance to make a first impression, so show LSU what SAE is all about (just in case they might have forgotten
). Good luck!
