A colony is a group of students interested in becoming a new chapter of Phi Sigma Pi. The colonization process is what Phi Sigma Pi uses to lay the foundation for a strong, successful chapter to emerge on the new campus. The basic steps of the colonization process typically include the following.
- Engage the university to build a partnership for success
- Implement a campus-wide advertising and interest-generating campaign
- Contact local alumni and nearby chapters to solicit their support
- Hold initial membership recruitment sessions
- Train, organize and prepare the interested members through the Brotherhood Education Program
- Complete the requirements for university recognition
- Search for a chapter advisor
The colonization process ends when the group is inducted and recognized as a chapter of Phi Sigma Pi."1 A colony may also be closed by National Council due to various circumstances such as low interest during recruitment or interruptions in the school calendar.
