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.
