I appreciate your kindness, aopirose. Actually, there
are times that more than 10 AI's are done in a year - such as when a long-lived local becomes a chapter of Alpha Delta Pi. In such cases, the alumnae of the local sorority are usually offered full AI membership in Alpha Delta Pi.
I would imagine that I was told about the less than 10 as a way of saying that it's not for just anyone. Most housemothers are offered AI, as are many mothers who have served a chapter above & beyond the call of duty, or super-legacies who went to a college without a greek system.
Alpha Delta Pi also requires some college education; but I think that's not an issue with the housemothers.
ETA: you have to understand that we have legacies who are direct descendants of our 1851 founders. One just
can't deny membership to someone with that many generations of ADPi!
