Delta Phi Epsilon appoints a Colony Advisor, along with an advisory board if possible, who are local to the chapter and available to them as resources. Our LCs visit the chapter on a regular basis as well (twice a semester). Each colony is also put into a region after it charters, and the regional team also provides support with recruitment, membership development, chapter operations and the like.

I know that when we colonized at one school, another group had chartered less than a year ago (Gamma Phi Beta I think), and they had a Consultant from HQs living with them for 6 months during their colony period at the sorority's expense.
