When APhiA had honorary membership (a practice we discontinued) there was definitely a difference between the two. Honorary membership was bestowed only on the national level (Hubert Humphrey is an honorary Alpha) while alumni initation is a fairly common practice for any man who already holds a college degree.
Now, "famous" people who want to be members have to seek Alpha through a chapter, period.
Judge Mathis is a Spring 04 initiate into an alumni chapter, FWIW.
