From what I've seen, I would say AI is definitely not a normal course in the NIC. However, some fraternities may or may not have stipulations on whether or not an active member must be an undergraduate student, or simply a student. In the latter case, you have said that you are a graduate student, and are thus still a student, just not with undergraduate standing. Though I hesitate to name the fraternity from my alma mater that faced this issue head-on when a graduate student rushed their chapter, I will say that they did eventually pledge him because they have no specific language in their fraternity rules banning a graduate student as an active member.
It's a possibility, but it depends on each fraternity as to their specific rules and on the men in the chapter (their acceptance of a graduate student as an active, the student's ability to be active in the chapter, etc.)
