Did these new AI women have sponsors or contact women during their PNAM "rush"? If they did, maybe use these women as people to be an assigned buddy for alumnae functions. Other options are sending real invites through snail mail, calling them, or having an alumna "stop by" to invite them. A lot of tactics used during the traditional collegiate new member period can work, though distances may be larger.
You might also ask some women who are involved with Junior League what their tactics for making new members comfortable with the group are.
ETA: if these are not AI women and are simply alumnae new to the area, assigning a buddy may help for them, too.
