I can tell you what I know about AST. We do offer AI, and it is described on our national website, but the information is directed at sisters, and not at potential alumnae members. There is actually more to the process than is described on the website. I know this only because I'm in the process of helping someone through AI right now.
In addition to what is mentioned, the initiated alumna must select one among four different "categories" of service. I forget what they all are right now, but two of them are working for HQ, and serving in an advisor position. They must fulfill requirements based on which path they choose.
Potential alumnae members can't just fill out an application and send it in to HQ. They need a letter of recommendation from at least one collegiate member. Actually, the first step for the woman I know going through the process right now was to talk one-on-one with our District President and discuss why it is she would like to be involved with the sorority. This is not something that can be pursued by just anyone.
