How long before you had a Beta chapter?

[pbear19]

Hey all! I haven't posted much in a long time, but I have another question. I've found some information about this in various other threads, but I was hoping I could get a little more info.

How long did it take your organization before you had two chapters? Did your organization start with the idea of becoming national some day, or did you originally intend to be a local? And if you know, did your alpha chapter have everything figured out as to how to work with a potential new chapter, or did they learn as they went? If they didn't have it all planned out for the installation of a new chapter, did everything go smoothly with that second chapter or was it difficult for the alpha chapter and/or the new one?

I appreciate any info that you all can give me!
