My spell checker keeps "correcting it" by converting it to the second one.
Are you referring to yourself (singular)?

That's probably why it keeps going to the second one.

If you are referring to yourself as an alumna member of your sorority, then I would use the second one. You could say "As an volunteer with an alumnae chapter", or something like that if you just want to use the word "alumnae".
