When Eta Beta was colonized, alumnae came from all over Western PA to make that commitment - and I'm talking maybe as many as 5-6 different Alumnae Associations! I was making tea sandwiches in my sleep - but we did it! We put a chapter of Alpha Delta Pi on a campus that "couldn't hold" another sorority!
So, as you decide where you'd like to see a colony, think really, really hard about how much time you're willing to give up to see this through. You must be willing to lay the foundation, start the colony, see it through Initiation, and BE THERE for them for at least three to five years.
And if y'all think I'm being hard, frankly, I think I'm listing the barest of minimums!
Play on through...

Well with that being said I think any school in Ohio could start up a colony with all of the strong alumnae groups throughout the state!! We have the Akron Area, Canton-Massillon, Gem City, Greater Cincinnatti, Greater Cleveland, Greater Columbus, Greater Dayton, Miami Valley, North Central, Springfield, and Youngstown-Salem Alumnae Associations. Those cover the entire state with the ability for someone to get involved with a group that is at most an hour away. So it would also cover almost all, if not all, colleges and universities. The support would be there!
