"My options during informal are to rush an established chapter or join the colonizing chapter."
I haven't seen anyone say this, but "join the colonizing chapter" is not necessarily a given. Not everyone who applies is selected. You must put as much effort into getting a bid from a colony as you would from any other chapter, and work harder after pledging because everything must be done from scratch.
