I'm not quite sure where the distinction between "recolonization" and "reorganization" is, either. I was under the impression that it was a recolonization if everyone was given alum status and then a new batch were chosen, and I have always thought of reorganization as an interchangeable term. However, I guess a reorganization happens if only some members go alum. I'm only familiar with the scenario in which everybody goes alum and then new ladies are recruited, though--before this DePauw incident, I had never heard of some members going alum while others stayed active during any kind of reorganization/recolonization attempt. We always referred to what my chapter did as a recolonization, but the chapter didn't stay away for years and years before it came back...I'm pretty sure that recruitment for new members started the year after the previous members were granted alum status.
