Maybe it was because you were very close to graduating. It sounds like even if you had not been graduating early you would be graduating in the fall.

That could have been a major reason. Why? Because, when a sorority takes seniors, they are usually taking seniors that would not be graduating right after they get initiated.

I have never been through a colonization. I would venture a guess that the colony DOES need upperclassmen to anchor the group and provide maturity and leadership. But, these upperclassmen would be chosen from those who would be there long enough to see the process to fruition. I would think those chosen would not need to be trying to colonize right when they are in their last semester.

Many members have to scale back their involvement their last semester. I have seen this many times, and these were in chapters that were already well established. I am sure new chapters take a lot of time and effort. So, it would only make sense that if you are close to graduating, they might pass.
