I think this is correct, although not all NPC sororities have alumnae initiation.
The general procedure for pursuing alumnae initiation with an NPC sorority seems more along the lines of how NPHC groups do it. A "PNAM" (potential new alumna member) who is not already friends with someone in the organization would do her research and decide which group to pursue since discretion is key here and it is commonly frowned upon to pursue more than one group at a time. She would probably contact someone at the HQ of the organization and then if all goes well, she would be put in touch with a local alumnae chapter so she could get to know them and they could get to know her. If all goes well there, she would be offered membership in the organization and then initiated. The whole process could take weeks or months or years -- there's no standard procedure and therefore it is different for everybody. Unlike with NPHC groups, if it doesn't work out with the first organization, she may later pursue a different one.
