Yes, yes, yes. I am an alumna initate (March 2001) and so is DGMarie (just a few months ago!). Her story begins here:

To answer your questions:
I just found out today about Alumane Initiation and I am so excited! I am wondering if any of you out there have been through this process and what it's like. I know that I missed the college experience with my pledge sisters, but do you feel that connection now with Delta Gamma?
I do regret that I did not have the collegiate experience, but the DG women that I know now are from a different university, different city. (So we bonded after college, not during!)
It's been wonderful to have Delta Gamma in common with them.
Do you feel like you've missed out on the collegiate experience?
A little bit but better late than never. I am SO GRATEFUL to be a Delta Gamma today!
I really want to pursue this, but would like to hear from anyone and everyone out there.
The only thing I would say that you need are 2 years of college and you will need to be sponsored by an alumna in good standing (there is an application form and it's for "Prospective Alumnae Initiates). What's more is that if you were approved by the Executive Council for initiation, you would be initiated at your local collegiate chapter. Since you appear to live in Honolulu, I am not sure where you would be initiated, since DG does not have a collegiate chapter in Hawaii at this time (You might have to hop on a plane
.....although there is an *alumnae* chapter). I am not sure if you know any of the DG Alumnae in Hawaii.
