My chapter was recolonized in Fall '99 (October to be exact), and we submitted our petition for inspection to the Headquarters in October 2000. We were inspected in Jan. 2001 and received our Charter on Feb. 3, 2001. We were basically a colony for a full year, and then had about four months between meeting our colony goals and chartering. Other new chapter on my campus have taken between 10 months to 2 years to complete their colony goals and become a full chapter.
I agree that it depends on the amount of hard work that the members put into it. We fully expected to be ready for chartering by the end of Spring '00 because the majority of our members had been members of a local fraternity/interest group for 4 years prior to the colonization process. However, I now think this actually hurt our colony process because some of the older guys felt they had done their work and didn't have to contribute as much to the colony goals as the younger guys.
