What happened in that particular chapter is unique to THAT PARTICULAR CHAPTER of THAT PARTICULAR INTER/NATIONAL ORGANIZATION.

The OP's post sounds nothing like the woman to whom you are referring - someone with a certain level of interaction with the chapter/organization.

As someone who was initiated as an alumna, I have to say that memberhip in the alumna level in my NPC orgnaization is nothing like what undergraduate membership was like on campus (I pledged the entire semester (13 weeks) but I didn't initiate because I had to leave school early due to health reasons).


It sounds as if she is looking for the collegiate "sorority experience", and joining an org via AI is not going to give that to her.
