It sounds like you're looking to have an active sister, though, not an alum, am I correct? You want to give her a vote in meetings, etc.?

I would proceed carefully with that. Presumably your chapter has membership requirements such as "must be a student at X college or one nearby" and "must have a Y GPA." If you remove those standards even for one wonderful girl, other members might say - well, why not remove them for all kinds of people? If university enrollment is not required, it might affect your status with the school - they might be reluctant to consider you a student organization.

I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying proceed carefully. You'd probably be best initiating her as an alumnae. She can attend meetings and socials then, but she just won't have a vote in chapter affairs.
