I found an example of colony recruitment in the Alpha Delta Pi forum, this is the schedule for a recent colonization at the University of Delaware:
Sunday, March 9th- First night of ADPi recruitment; held from 4pm-6pm; this will be an open house style with alumnae and collegians and the colony team present (including members of Grand Council) talking with the PNMs and actually getting them signed up for interviews.
Monday through Wednesday- interviews conducted by colony team and Council
Tuesday, March 11th- Philanthropy Round- start time 7pm- this will showcase the Ronald McDonald House with emphasis on the Wilmington RMH (very close to U of D); here we'll again have alumnae and collegians talking with PNMs, do the craft etc.
Thursday, March 13th- Bid Day! (bids given out to the women who are selected)
Of course all colony recruitment is a bit different, but this is a good general idea. Also, the same general advice applies to colony recruitment. Example: Anything you wouldn't say in regular formal recruitment, doesn't need to be said in colony recruitment either.

Our colonization at U of A will be different as well. We will be in Round 1 of recruitment, then pull out. Interviews will be done is mid September with bids handed out in late September.
It is really going to depend on the school that you are going too.
You should really contact the school. I've heard (through reading on here) that some schools require the girls to go through formal and then if they don't get bid matched they can pursue the colonizing group. Some might not. You really need to find out what your schools requirements are.
