Should I initiate at a non-local college or try for alumnae initiation elsewhere?

I'm torn on what to do.I'm a non-traditional student, so I would fit in at an alumnae group age-wise and lifestyle-wise I think.

Although she may be a freshman, it sounds like she is a good bit older than 18-19. Another bid at a later date from a collegiate chapter doesn't sound like a possibility.

Additionally, not many 18-20 year-old students attempt to apply for AI BEFORE attending a normal NPC recruitment.
