From the NPC perspective, generally speaking, alumnae initiations are pretty rare. Also, I should emphasize that for an NPC Prospective alumna initiate, the woman in question must be sponsored by an alumna member in good standing (or the local alumnae chapter) and then be extended an invitation to join.
Once initiated, an NPC alumna initiate has the same rights and privileges that she would have had, if she'd been initiated as a collegian.
I don't know if it would be as big of an issue joining as an alum.
Is it a regular occurence for NPHC women to be initiated as alums? I can tell you that for NPC alum ladies, most of them are like, "Alumnae Initiates? What's that?", but then often times, the women who are serving as the House Mothers will be alumnae initiated.
I would be interested in emailing both the NPC and the NPHC to get the definitive answer. I do know where the NPC website is.
Can someone please post the link to the NPHC website? I looked on the each of the Divine 9 websites to see if there was a link to the Central NPHC website and did not have any luck (unless I missed it and did not see it).
www.nphc.com is North Phoenix Heart Center and
www.nphc.org is an empty domain. Going to Yahoo and typing in "National Pan-Hellenic Council" did not bear fruit either.
If I get the definitive, official answer, I would be pleased to share it.
