I'm not sure what sororities you have friends in, but if you truly regret not joining a chapter, there is always alumnae initiation. Not all groups have it. Mine does and some of the strongest sorority women I know were initiated as alumnae....usually because their mom, daughter, cousin, best friend, etc...is a member and they want to experience it. Alumnae involvement is very different than collegiate involvement....more lunches, less songs, no recruitment really. I am currently President of my local alumnae chapter and I love it. Anyway, it might be an option for you.

I see computer glitch thrown around a few times a year.

I have worked with SelectASis/ICS/Campus Director extensively in several different volunteer roles at a regional and national level. Those lists are double and triple checked. The program literally cannot glitch and remove someone's name from a list. That is a myth. Especially in the last few years. This is not 2004-5 when ICS was new and we were just switching over from paper-based systems.

See also: your comment re: AI. Not always an options. Is it an option for some? Sure. An alumnae chapter of my sorority just initiated a class of sorts of AI women and they are amazing. But a lot of that depends on requirements, etc. so I am hesitant to throw out a blanket statement of "you can always initiate as an alumna.'
