I don't even consider initiating alums of a local group that becomes national "AI" as it is spoken about on here. If they choose not to initiate into the national group, they still have alumnae ties to the local group that continue - the same as alumnae ties in a closed chapter of a national group would continue. And even if they don't initiate - it doesn't mean they won't support the local-turned-national in every way. If a sorority would spurn their support just because they wouldn't be "official" - that would be flat out sillypants.
I agree 100%. It's a whole 'nother animal. Although the terminology is the same.
