As someone pointed out earlier, alumnae chapters and very different from collegiate chapters. Be sure that you have set proper expectations for what you plan to get out of alumnae membership.

Also, be aware that many organization will require the chapter to sponsor you, and also that you have demonstrated a strong relationship to the organization prior to application. In otherwords, many places will frown upon self nomination. Equally frowned upon is sorority shopping.

This leads me to the fact that some organizations also look regularly on this board and can easily match up someone posting here with someone applying to HQ. Don't believe me? You should. With the few people who actually get nominated and approved for AI yearly, and given that this site undoubtedly has the most online coversations about it, it is not hard to figure out if SuzieQ123 who posts here is the same Sarah Somebody who wrote a letter in real life.
