Soon-to-be AI
I am an alumna of Zeta Psi Sigma, a local sorority at Carnegie Mellon University that was adopted by Alpha Chi Omega last spring and is now Kappa Nu of AXO.
All of the ZetaSig alumae were invited to AI and I am excited to announce that I finally have an initiation date! I will initiate at the Beta Rho chapter at American University on November 12!
I know this isn't the typical AI story in this forum, but I thought I'd share a slightly different AI experience.

Congratulations! I too am an AI via colonization, and I applaude you on your choice to see it through to initiation!

Congratulations! We haven't had a story like yours in quite some time, I think.

Congrats to you! I would assume that the founders that were initiated in Chi Omega were not included in the invitation to join AXO? That must be hard for them...are you keeping the alumnae group for the local sorority or merging it into the AXO alumnae chapter? Just curious - you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

Quote from the article you posted:
The original six founders of Zeta will not be allowed to initiate into Alpha Chi because they are already initiated into Chi Omega. However, they will be given the option of acting as mentors for the current members of Zeta/Alpha Chi.

I found the article after I'd posted the original response. That's great that they can stay involved.

Curiousity: How did the founders become members of Chi-O?

They were already initiated members of Chi Omega before establishing Zeta Psi Sigma.

It was a Chi Omega Chapter which was closed/self closed or whatever and went local and then years later, affiliated with an NPC group. According to my notes, fiften groups submittee materials to be considered for this extension opportunity and Chi Omega was not one of the four invited to present. I do not have if they were one of the 15.

AlphaFrog beat me to it, but no, ZetaSig's founders will not be able to inititate into AXO. However, we are also maintaining our ZetaSig alumnae mailing list and, as far as I understand things, all ZetaSig alumnae (regardless of whether or not they choose to initiate into AXO) will be welcome at the Kappa Nu chapter for alumnae events.

Orchid Alum - I hope your initiation day into Alpha Chi Omega was wonderful and beautiful and the first of many wonderful memories with the ladies of Alpha Chi Omega.

I think kateshort was in a local and then when her local became an ADPi chapter, she became an ADPi.

That would be true. When a local sorority becomes a colony then chapter of Alpha Delta Pi, the sisters of the local are given the option of becoming sisters of ADPi.
ETA: Congratulations on your upcoming initiation! My highschool homeroom teacher was a ChiO at CMU, and was crushed that I didn't go ChiO!
