Hi LouisaMay,
Welcome to GC and the AI forum.
If you haven't already, you may want to read "Cutiepie2000's thread on the AI process. In summary, she says its better to contact the national HQ office and let them put you in touch w/ the local alum group near you and they can let the Prez or VP of the alum chapter have heads up that you will be contacting.
Before I found out about this thread and GC, I contacted a GLO's Prez that knew nothing about AI process and said no only collegians can join (after I read about it on that GLO's national webpage). They HQ might be able to put you in contact with an alum contact in the area you our moving to or let you know if there are any alum chapters .
Needless to say there is no chance on getting into that GLO after that. All other contacts I made to GLO's were made after contacting the HQ. I'm in a non-academic service GLO now (and just like others have said) you transfer your membership to other chapters across the US where ever a chapter exists. I know of 2 military wives in Beta now & it hasn't been a problem.
I'd say go for it & ditto what SmartBlondeGPhB said. Good Luck!
