Alphafrog, I inferred from your message that I may look too desperate, given my past rushing history, to be an AI candidate. Perhaps the fact that I was blackballed from an NPC sorority automatically rules me out anyway. I'll fully admit that a small part of me wants to "redeem" myself, since I am hardly the same person I was in college. However, I'll take your advice to heart and if more people feel the same I'll go the non-collegiate route. As I said before, I have no reservations about becoming a sister in one of those groups.
Thanks ladies!

Blackballed??
Unless you did something incredibly heinous, or you're a felon or something, there's no way you can be "blackballed for life" from an NPC sorority. My best guess is that what you're talking about is that there was a member(s) in the collegiate chapter that you didn't get along with, so you were cut very quickly from their group and there were no doubts in your mind as to the reason you were cut. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If you're not willing to explore this route with your friend, despite a promising lead, due to the actions of the collegiate chapter, you're wasting the only appropriate route to AI you've got so far. AI is really an honor to be be offered to what the sorority deems as a worthy woman, and the process wasn't designed for people like yourself to seek it out of your own accord without prior contact (i.e. a close friend or family member) to a particular group.
If you still don't want to approach your friend, a non-collegiate sorority might be a better option for you.
