Question!

I agree with KSUViolet06. The chance of a colony/new chapter going under in the first few years is practically nil (other than risk management issues, I suppose). Starting a new chapter is a big time and financial commitment for any sorority and the new group will get a lot of hands on help.

I think it would be a great opportunity for a junior!

I would definitely go for it! As people have said, it usually includes an event, and then interviews, then preference, then bids...

I know that in my experience (I have a long, weird sorority recruitment story, bear with me here) it was interviews by members of the national staff, they come in and set everything up. It isnt necessarily the same, however, across the board.

Starting a chapter is a lot of work, and it can be confusing, the staff is looking for Seniors, Juniors, and everything else to make up a good, varied class, and they are looking for well rounded women who can get a lot of stuff done (its a lot of work!)

As a Junior, this is, in my opinion, the best chance you have to be apart of a sorority, and you can have a lot of fun (if youre willing to put in the time) doing it!
