You are correct.

To flip your curious & respectful question...Jane has decided she wants to be a DST, she's done her research, no questions about her choice. She gets to school and sees lines of 100 people. Jane does not like this concept so she decides not to pursue undergrad membership. When she graduates, she starts pursuing membership in a graduate chapter. Is "I didn't want to be in such a huge line" a valid reason if she's asked why she didn't join as an undergrad?

There have been a few NPC AI stories on here that basically went like that...the chapters at my school were huge and I was afraid to rush/didn't have the money/failed in rush. I think a lot of how this goes over depends on how the woman represents herself. That is, if she just says "I'm an XYZ! I went to BigStateU!" people might give her the Blanche Devereaux SideEye. No you don't have to tell your life story, but to represent yourself as something you aren't by omitting details is always bogus. This is why I think if NPC in general wants to make AI a bigger part of membership, all the groups need to have designated AI chapters.
