Also, I swear I tried to do a seach before starting this thread. I must have not used the right words because all I found was some threads from 2002 and I wanted new information.

See, there lies the problem. A collegiate chapter is BOUND by the regulations of the college/university with regards to whom they may invite for membership (usually only undergraduate students) - meaning Graduate Students who are NOT already alumnae members of AOII are not allowed to pledge - but can go through AI. These are different programs and different requirements, etc. This is different than a collegiate chapter allowing a graduate student who is an alumna to be an active collegiate member of the chapter (but the grad student is still technically an alumna!).
Once again, don't post policy statements for an organization that you do not belong to - especially since you'll usually find a member of that org that has a copy of the constitution, by-laws, policies and procedures to prove you wrong - or in this instance show you that the information you gave is not exactly correct.
