While I think that what I've come to call "organic" colonizations - i.e. groups that start on the campus by the students, not colonies that the sorority comes in and picks all the members - can be a great thing and expand the Greek community, and are the ONLY way some campi end up expanding, these silly geese have it wrong. They'll get an education quickly.

Or, on the more positive side, things can work out well. In my chapter's case (long story short) a group of women approached the campus's Panhel about bringing AEPhi to campus. Panhel would not open for expansion, but told the women that they could form a local sorority. The local thrived for two years (during which time I pledged) before Panhel did open for expansion, indicating that there was a local group interested in affiliating with AEPhi. A match was made, and the chapter is still there 16 years later. There was a bit of "OMG ALL THESE RULEZ" shock, but we got through it.
xoStarr, I don't want to give you any false hopes here, but under the right circumstances, things can work out.
