More than likely, your sophomore status hurt you. That would be less of a big deal in the colony.

HOWEVER...

Successful colonies are ones who blend in with the existing chapters, not stand out. If "pumps, pearls and pastels" are the order of the day, that colony (if they're smart) is going to be the pumpiest, pearliest and pasteliest of all.

Unless it's a group that is appealing to a certain niche (like a historically Jewish sorority) who is ok with staying smaller, colonies don't usually bring in or seek out women who are vastly different than those in the existing sororites. A chapter can maybe go on that steam for a year or two (and usually at a smaller school) but in the end, women don't want to be in the "un-sorority sorority." They want to be in a sorority.
