Colonizing

M, I think you are talking about an existing interest group of women who have organized themselves and are looking for national affiliation. That is not what is occurring here. When a campus votes to expand, all the NPC sororities without an active chapter may submit a packet expressing their interest in establishing a colony. The campus Panhellenic chooses from the packets and invites three organizations to participate. They are under no obligation to choose a chapter just because a previous chapter existed on campus, though they can certainly take that into consideration. For instance, Delta Zeta's chapter in 2003 was not a re-colonization, it was a brand new chapter. Delta Zeta was not the only org to present, and one of the orgs that also presented DID have a previous chapter on UF, but was still not selected at that time. Phi Sigma Sigma, or the other two, would only interview potential members if formally invited to establish a chapter by Panhellenic. At this point, GPhiB, APhi, and Phi Sigma Sigma have only been invited to present, not to colonize. It is possible that none will be chosen, one will be chosen, or more than one will be chosen in a "stacked" expansion, where one comes on campus during a certain year and then another is invited to comes on campus later.
