Correct. Joining as an alumnae initiate is very rare and not the same as collegiate recruitment where you have many options and a formal recruitment process.

It is not appropriate to ask to be invited to membership. If you have a friend who is an ASA, you could certainly express interest in her sorority and how you wish you could be part of an organization like that. If she takes the hint and sees that you might be a potential sister, she'll talk to her alumnae association.

No. It is just not our policy to invite women to membership who have come to alumnae initiation through their own recommendation. We prefer to invite people whom we know personally for the alumnae initate program.
