IMHO, I think a Greek Club is a Great Idea! I have friends who transferred, and ended up "hanging around" one chapter or another (if they could), but having a group of people in the same boat would be SOOO much easier!

This may be a reason why the group I heard about was made up primarily of sorority women.
Now with respect to fraternities, there are at least four ways that I can think of, that a fraternity (ABC) may colonize. I'm sure there are more.
1. ABC fraternity could petition the university IFC to come on campus. The IFC would agree and then allow ABC to begin colonization following the university's guidelines.
2. A local interest group may petition ABC, then the university IFC. Usually, the IFC waits for ABC to approve, then it gives approval. Colonization begins etc.
3. The IFC may decide that it wants an additional chapter and will ask ABC to colonize on campus. ABC accepts and then begins colonization.
4. Similar to number 3, the IFC may decide that it wants an additional chapter and send out feelers to all or various fraternities. ABC is selected and colonization begins.
Thus if there is interest, it is "easier" for a fraternity to colonize. And why fraternity men would look to doing so first.
Personally, I too would consider starting a new colony. However, I would also take advantage of, and participate in, a "Stray Greek" club. Frankly, all things being equal, I can not see a down side to doing both.
