Congratulations on your new colony.

I understand that in the next few weeks, some new members may discover that they are not able to continue their membership. If a new member should have to resign, I would love to be reconsidered for a spot in the colony. I wish ABC at Old State U the very best.
Sincerely,
Daisy000
Then, let it go. In this type of email you have been gracious and shown that you are still interested. That is all you can do.

No, no, no. Both of you completely missed DeltaBetaBaby's point.
daisy000, you shouldn't be looking to join this semester. When writing to them, you should be expressing interest in their chapter (for the future), not asking if there are going to be any openings right now. Simply letting them know you appreciate that they gave you an opportunity to meet with them, and that you would love to get to know the sisters more, is all that should be said.
Don't sound desperate. Don't "beg". Just sound interested.
