If I may address the bolded. This is a good example of a campus with good panhellenic relations. Both Alpha Delta Pi and Kappa Alpha Theta are allowing Phi Mu to host their recruitment events at their house. To be clear, Phi Mu's colonization recruitment happens after formal recruitment.
I would also like to note that when Alpha Phi colonized at UK a few years back, each new Alpha Phi "pledge" received a "Panhellenic Big Sister". The "Big Sister" was a member from one of the other UK chapters who was there to help give them the “UK experience” of being a pledge at UK. As in giving them gift bags, setting up mixers, making sure they were included in all Greek community events etc.
Finally, when Alpha Phi went before the Lexington zoning board to request land next to campus be rezoned to allow for a larger house, the UK Administration was supportive as well as the UK Greek Community at large.
Having the campus panhellenic (and campus administration) help a new colony, in turns helps to make the colonization successful. And strengthens the whole Greek community.
