I may be wrong, but I have been told in the past that Pi Beta Phi does this and I think that's awesome (and if I'm wrong, please PM me so I can edit my comment on Pi Phi!)
2. If your sorority absorbs a local, naturally invite those local alumnae to join your NPC group (if rules and such allow!)
3. Offer alumna initiation to those chapter mothers and campus leaders who support the collegiate chapter on an active, positive, and continuing basis.
4. Finally, to my alumnae sisters in all sororities--do you have a friend who very well may be a "sister without a badge"? Well, remember all those years of rush workshops? Of course you do (although now it's recruitment and not rush!) First you make a friend, and we all have lots of friends, right? Next, introduce her to your friends, who just happen to be your sorority sisters! We all know the drill 
This may be too simplistic, but sometimes simple is good.

You are correct. Pi Phi will offer AI to women who are interested in advising a chapter (not necessarily a new colony). I knew of several situations where the daughter was initiating the mother... and if my mother had gone to college, she might have been offered AI (our province officer was going to nominate her when I was a collegiate member). Having attended college is the one absolute requirement to be a Pi Beta Phi AI
