There is a process outlined by the National Chapter of the organization and you are not a member until it is completed (no sorority pin or badge will be mailed to your home to signify you are a member). In a nutshell, the process for joining a NPHC Sorority is stringent and only those who seek out the Sorority are provided with information as to how they could potentially become a member. With that said, maybe NPC orgs shoud review their Alumnae selection process and make the requirements harder to become a member at that level.
It's like working a part-time job being a member of a NHPC Alumnae chapter because you are more exposed to the community and you are charged with carrying out the mission of the sorority on a higher level.

You are missing what we are saying - none of us (ok, maybe one person) is opposed to Alumnae Initiation. We are opposed to discussing the particulars of the process on GC...just as most NPHC members are opposed to discussing membership particulars for undergrad OR AI on GC.
