And some (IMO progressive) GLOs will let anyone affiliate anywhere at any time (provided that they are members in good standing and meet academic requirements, for example).
After all, if you are an initiated member of your fraternity/sorority, you've already gone through one membership selection process, and you shouldn't ever have to go through another, correct?
*sits back and waits for it...*
I agree.

There's a theory that you can't affiliate with a chapter that doesn't exist, and a colony is not a chapter.
Unless, of course, you've got language in your regulations and policies that allow affiliation with a colony.
