If the answer involves giving me TMI then I understand.

There wer a lot fewer steps back in the 1940s when groups of Boy Scouts returning from the war, formed a local Beta Sigma Alpha wrote the National Office and had one or two visits before they got a charter.
In actuality there are four steps including chartered chapter. (Target is sort of a wish list and doesn't mean there is anyone there.)
Prospect group sort of equals "there are a couple of people at the school who think the fraternity is a good idea who want to farther, but aren't necessarily functioning as a club yet.
Interest group sort of equals "We have our act together to act as a recognize club, service & fellowship are starting to happen."
Petitioning group sort of equals "We are to the point were things should be done the way the chapter is, but we have to figure out a) how to make them work on our campus and b) keep good enough records to make sure the National Office & staff know"
A newly forming group (that isn't an already functioning student group) will go through those steps anyway, these are useful milestones though.
Yes, projects can be "banked", the service project reports at chartering can go all the way back to the group first getting formed.
