I think it depends on the type of members you allow to join your group. Be very selective in your process. Get to know the reasons why women want to be a part of your organization. Have an extensive time period in which you carefully take time to build relationships with those who claim to have a true interest. You already understand the steps needed to make your organization successful, so you have to make sure that you stress your point to other people.
Also, i think you should definitely include the major benefits of being a member in such an organization. Discuss the reasons why you are trying to colonize the group, include your reasons for wanting to stick it out during the next year and a half. if your group has a chance of survival on campus, there are probably alot of women out there who may feel the same way you do and just don't know that your interest group is there.
I would also suggest you think about the reason you are trying to form a colony. Is the organization you are interested in not located at a nearby campus? Perhaps you can become a member by traveling. Also if you find that not enough support is coming from your campus, your interest group may not survive even if you become a colony of the organization. Some sororities will not let you colonize if you dont have enough members in your interest group, so if you are serious in making this work then you have to consider the journey you'll need to take to get enough dedicated members to join you.
There is not gaurenteed way to know if the people who claim to have interest will truly stick it out. The best thing to do is present your self well, use campus resources and word of mouth, to get your group noticed, and work with your existing school council on advice about how they were able to get their group off the ground.
It helps to have at least 10 members in a group. Good Luck and keep us posted if you can!
