Colony (fraternity or sorority)

A colony is a probationary body of a national fraternity or sorority. A group wishing to become a member of a fraternity or sorority must first petition for status as a colony. If the colony prospers, the colony may later be chartered, thereby becoming a full chapter of the fraternity. Not all national fraternities and sororities follow this practice, and some organizations use terms other than colony.^[1]
