This may not apply to ALL sororities, so please take this with a grain of salt. In my experience, the recruiters from IHQ do not choose the officers for the new chapter. The officers are chosen by the new chapter members. The IHQ generally has an advisor that will stay for several months to a year to help guide the girls in running the new colony.
