Some groups don't want a prospective AI to seek them out if that woman does not already have a prior connection to them, and some don't mind; however those groups will still "vet" that prospective AI thoroughly before extending an invitation to membership.
I think the common theme throughout is that the EO's and HQ's of all NPCs will insist that the local alumnae group is in support of the proposed alumna initiate....after all, it is the local alumnae who will be interacting with her and vice versa, so they'll want to insure that someone is not being "forced on" the existing alumnae, if they are not in support of it.
In some cases, the local collegiate chapter needs to be "on board" too, in terms of support, but not always (particularly if there is no collegiate chapter in the vicinity)
