It will be just as competitive. Some people make the mistake of thinking that getting a bid from a colonizing chapter will be easier, but no way. You'll be interviewed by national officers and other alumnae, and they're looking for the strongest and best candidates. Nationals invest way too much into starting new chapters to just go for quantity over quality. You will need recs for them like you do other sororities. Colonies also look for a good mix of freshmen and upperclassmen. They need both, and upperclassmen who already have proven records of campus involvement and leadership are a plus. Colonies aren't made up of rejects! Some women really want to be in colonies because of the chance to be charter members who get in on the ground floor of building a chapter, starting traditions, etc. It can be a great experience and one that looks good on a resume. There will be girls who drop out of regular recruitment, or end up getting released, who will try for the ADPi colony, but whatever got them released from regular recruitment might have the same impact when they talk to ADPi. Those who choose to drop from recruitment, maybe not so much, unless they dropped because of a "too good for" attitude about houses that invited them back. Some women won't even go through regular recruitment, but will just wait and try for ADPi because they really want the colonizing experience.
