Maybe I'm mistaken, but in reference to the bit highlighted in black above, doesn't that conflict with DU's constitution and bylaws (Articles 2 and 3) and Policies and Procedures (Policies 4.5, 4.6) which are available online? As I understand it, no interest group has formally been established, no colony has been recognized, and no chapter has been chartered. Even though the ritual of initiation may be available online, how is the "initiation" of the "seven pioneers" a valid initiation? And isn't the founding date of a new chapter marked by the date on which IHQ grants a charter?
They consider themselves to be valid chapters and are in the process of establishing themselves as such with our IHQ.

Interesting. I guess we'll just have to wait and see the results of DU IHQ's investigation. It just seems to me that they're taking liberties that may ultimately cost them the opportunity to obtain a genuine charter.
