Babygirlash - just to clarify, alumnae initiation is generally for women who already have some significant tie to women in an organization, if the organization event supports alumnae initiation at all.
Though, I will say that I have always had a tendency to think that a significant portion of the rarity of AI is due to the lack of interest from potential initiates. I don't know of too many grown women who are willing to go through the process.

I'm not sure what the "process" to go through is if a woman is just being her awesome self without the goal of AI. The alumnae and/or collegians recognize how amazing this woman is an extend her an offer of membership, there isn't much of a "process" on the potential AI end if she's genuine. If she's involved just to get membership extended that's kind of shady. If someone is participating or involved for the express purpose of seeking membership as an AI, that's kind of strange to me.
But that's a whole other discussion we've had many times.
