But I just mentioned about about hour ago the story of one of my chapter brothers who was "locked out" of the system because someone at HQ typed his social security number incorrectly in the system from his application and it took him months (if not a year, IIRC) to be confirmed as an Alpha after he was reclaimed.
Since I can't say with certainty what any other org's application looks like, it seems a reasonable compromise for those who value paper apps would be to enter demographic info online/in digital format and complete the rest of the app (qualitative portions, if any) with a typewriter.
