What is a colony, how long does it take to gain chapter status and become a member of Phi Delta Theta?
A colony is a group of students who are in the process of petitioning Phi Delta Theta Fraternity to become a chapter and initiated into our organization. In order to receive this recognition they must build the foundation and lay the ground work for future generations to come. This will be the responsibility of the colony members of California Upsilon at Fresno State. This would include passing all examinations, creating and living up to academic standards, building programs covering all areas of chapter operations, and developing a commitment to service and philanthropy. Ideally this process takes close to a year.
