I was wondering can guys become AI's as well? I've only heard stories on here of girls/women AI'ing and I was just curious if fraternities allowed this process as well. Thanks guys!

Some do, some don't.
In Alpha Sigma Phi there are but just two classes of membership -- undergraduate and alumni. There is no honorary member or special member status except that of 'Member-at-Large', usually abbreviated M-A-L.
An M-A-L is generally one initiated as the exemplar candidate during the ritual exemplification. He is usually not affiliated with a specific chapter.
Alumni initiation by chapters is usually done only on faculty advisors who are not already members of a GLO. It's extremely rare for it to happen but on occasion the father or close male blood relative may be initiated, but final approval rests on both the chapter and the Grand Council of Alpha Sigma Phi.
Even rarer was the initiation of a former Alpha Sig pledge -- took him over 25 years - and a family - to finally return to college and be welcomed into the Mystic Circle.
