It's not that. I'm guessing that b/c a chapter just colonized, most sororities would want to wait a few years for that chapter to become established before taking a risk and introducing their GLO to the campus.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, definitely makes sense. Wouldn't that be a lack of oversight on IUPUI's part?

Probably though they could justify it by saying that b/c numbers have been great over the past few years and all chapters are at total consistently, then it's a perfect time to add one or 2 new GLO's to a school.

It will be interesting and I hope for the best for both chapters.

ETA: It has been done successfully at some schools but each school, chapter and GLO is different. For example, at the University of California, Irvine, Alpha Epsilon Phi colonized successfully and one year later, Sigma Kappa colonized and are thriving as well so it can be done. It just depends on campus atmosphere and the support given to the chapters.
