I also realized that i didn't know who the other founders would be and that I might not even get along with them. I had a small panic attack about this and really regretted withdrawing from formal. There was also the chance that I wouldn't even get a bid to the colony. I had made my decision though and I had to deal with whatever the consequences would be.
My story isn't over yet though...

I was the member of a colony on my campus. While it is a little bit of a different experience, we pretty much did everything all of the established chapters did. We had a very active social calendar our very first semester, we had football block (our school's tailgateish thing), we had a barn dance, formal, semi formal...you name it, we did it! My current roommate, who is in another chapter couldn't believe that we were already doing everything that they were doing!
While we didn't have bigs, we did have twins instead, and it worked out very well. Also, we had a house right away, but it needed major renovations, so no one lived in, and we were only there for meetings. Still, my sisters and I hung out together a LOT at each others dorms, apartments, etc. The only thing we really "lacked" were traditions, but the fun part about that is that we get to start our own!!
Just something to think about!
PS I'm like 90% sure of your school!
