As a fellow AI, although I identify with my collegiate chapter (since I was a colony member that wasn't installed until after graduation) I also believe its important we make it known that we are AI's.

If you find your group through an alum chapter, I personally think this makes much more sense. For example, one of our alum initiates is from Texas but her chapter designation is that of a chapter in Michigan since that's where her sponsor was from. I doubt if she has ever even been to Michigan...I would feel very funny saying "I am a member of so and so chapter" if my only connection to it was a single member.
However, if you're a colony member or longtime advisor being initiated, or you have a lot of interaction with the collegians prior to your initiation (see post below), I would say go with the chapter you have been attached to.
