From colony to getting chartered - what happens if a sorority won't get chartered?

Melinda, that's what I'm saying. Maybe there are NPC sororities who don't follow the protocols of the majority, but in my sorority, installation and initiation happen on the same day and it's a HUGE deal. Women come in from miles, even hundreds of miles away to observe and participate. Also, it's very unusual to allow a colony to struggle along for 2 years. I think standard would be if you can't get all your ducks in a row (for whatever reason, it doesn't mean you have failed of your own accord) within a year they'd have cancelled the colony as a mercy.

I think the OP needs to do some research about what she really has and the repercussions of closure. I would also suggest finding a poster online who is an alumna of your sorority and ask her privately about your policies and procedures. And that is after you've tried and failed to get these answers from your alumnae advisers, your leadership consultant, etc.

I'm glad you are willing to put in the work. That's important, but something still isn't adding up.
