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!

Honey,
I'm sure your friend knows what shes talking about, but I was under the impression that GC was trying to expand the AI program. The only thing they told me when I asked for the info was that the paperwork takes longer to process. I can imagine them only doing 10 a year though just beacause the majority of members are ignorant of AI. Heck getting my AA going on it is like pulling teeth.
