Colonies don't have to take anyone. I think that's a bit of a misunderstanding some people at a campus may have. In many cases, colonies will be even more selective as their future depends on their choices. It's better to take on a smaller initial class than to pledge women who will not do the work needed or will give your organization a bad reputation.

It's always interesting to see the wide variety of women who come out for a colonization. I've met many women who never went through formal recruitment at a competitive school because the process was too daunting or otherwise difficult for them.

I think the most difficult aspect at Arkansas will be how the young women will chose between the groups. Aside from those who have family legacies or regional preferences, I imagine it's going to be hard for the PNM to decide without having any current members to meet a gauge your comfort level. Do you like the philanthropy better? Your complexion is better suited to wearing their colors? All your friends want a specific group?

I can't tell from the schedule if there are invitational parties at all. Seeing who else is in the running would definitely seem to make the decision a little easier.

This is true, especially with these types of large scale colonizations. Example: That one year Alpha Phi colonized at Florida State. A few GC PNMs went bidless on that one.
