Colonization Process: Colonization is the
expansion of the Sorority to colleges and
universities across the country that do not
currently have chapters of Tau Beta Sigma.
Sometimes colonization takes place on a
campus that has never been affiliated with the
Sorority. The colonization period is a
probationary time during which at least (5)
dedicated band students work together to
obtain active chapter status. This group is
referred to as a colony.
