You will be better off contacting the GLO via phone or email if you are interested in the colonizing chapters; but I would encourage you to participate in formal recruitment first. I assume they will run a similar system as NPC by participating in the first round of recruitment and then dropping out until formal recruitment is over. The weeks after I would guess they will hold social events/interviews to determine their founding class. One of the advantages of attending Arkansas is that they hold formal recruitment, so even if you don't know anyone going in you still have a chance to receive a bid from a chapter. That being IFC sets their own quotas so compared to NPC numbers their retention rates are much lower at the completion of recruitment. The average chapter took 45-60 last year; and I remember hearing something crazy like over 40% of men who participated were released. Colonization and spring recruitment are always strong options to pursue if formal recruitment does not end up how you would like it to.
