Brianna, I don't know the specifics of the UA chapter's recolonization-- but know that the timed recolonization is specific to the UA campus and this ADPi chapter at this time.
Typically, when a chapter (any sorority chapter) closes, they go right back into the hopper with the other NPC's hoping to present for expansion at the next expanision solicitiation opportunity, without guarantee that they will be selected for a presentation or final consideration.
Some campuses, however, depending on the Greek adviser and the campus Panhellenic, and the reasons for the chapter closing, can work together to bring the chapter back at a defined point in the future.
For example, on my own campus "ABC" sorority closed one semester after years of their national office working with them to help them grow stronger -- all members granted alumna status-- and immediately reopened and rechartered the following semester with a completely new membership. This was due to the campus climate, the Greek adviser and the receptivity of the Greek Community to supporting this effort.
So it just depends on the campus. For specifics regarding this chapter recolonization, you'd probably get the best information by consulting a member of ADPi District 6 Team. But for the sake of discretion, I would ask that we all refrain from posting specifics of the closing/reopening of our chapters until it is officially greenlighted with an email from HQ or an Adelphean article. There's so much general speculation on the internet these days-- best not to add to the rumor mill just in case. What do you think?
ETA: I changed the name of "ABC" sorority to make then anonymous... no one needs to know their specific business.
