Ah, and see that's the part of it we don't have. Our alum associations don't select, recommend or sponsor honoraries. A member of an alum association (like any other alumnus or collegiate brother in good standing) could recommend someone to the NEC for initiation as a national honorary initiate, and an alum member could, I suppose, suggest to a collegiate chapter that the chapter consider someone for honorary initiation. But alumni associations, as such, have no role in the process at all. It's completely a chapter's decision (with the province governor's approval) or the NEC's decision.
