Information about AI is available on many NPC websites.

I'm not claiming unlimited knowledge in this area, but I haven't heard of any NPCs intentionly gathering alumnae initiates except in cases of colonizations. AIs are sometimes actively sought during a colonization to create alumnae support in the community and to bind the college community to the chapter. Even in those cases, there isn't a wide call publicizing an opening for AIs; the sorority simply encourages the new collegiate members to consider asking the women in their lives (moms, aunts, etc.) and on the campus (professors, administrators, advisors, etc.) to consider membership. At least that is what I have seen. Like DeltaBetaBaby said, the sorority may still be quite selective in extending an offer of membership.

I actually participated in encouraging alums of an absorbed local to become alumnae initiates of Alpha Sigma Alpha. There was some very interesting tension in that scenario. Very interesting! I learned a lot, and I truly appreciated the loyalty to the local sorority.
