So if there was a national organization there that interested me, I would actually be able to look into it as a perspective member??? And if so, how would that work? Would it be the same as the alumni initiation process? This would be a bit in the future, but it would be good to have the preliminary info!

Cloud9, To be an alumna initiate, there are 2 things:
1. You must not be an
initiated member of any other National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) group.
2. You must not at the time of seeking initiation, meet the criteria for being a collegiate member.
To be an alumna initiate, you don't just "sign up"...you often must be introduced to the alumnae chapter by an alumna member in good standing. You would get to know the group, then the group would decide whether they would like to sponsor you for membership.
There are some good links on the web about this...
Alpha Phi
Alpha Sigma Tau
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Delta Pi
Pi Beta Phi
Gamma Phi Beta
will get you started. Nearly all 26 groups initiate non-collegiate women (I only put up the groups which have explicit information right there on their National Websites). The only ones who don't don't initiate Non-Collegiate women are Kappa Kappa Gamma. Also, I should qualify that I know that Chi Omega *does* have Special Initiates, but it is not done very often.
Good luck.
