Just a few thoughts...
AI can be a very, very long process filled with ups and downs. Get ready for a wild emotional roller coaster. You'll experience a lot of "hurry up and waits." You'll think all is fine, and then not hear anything for months, and think all is lost, only to hear something again-- or not. It's an extremely difficult process.
Don't go in expecting to recreate your college years. The whole sorority experience is completely different on the alumnae level.
And... it's difficult to judge a sorority by one geographical area. I know that the most sought after sororities where I went to college are not necessarily the most sought after elsewhere, and vice versa.
Lake gave excellent advice when she suggested you look up the national web sites and see if your values, philosophies, etc agree with those you read about. There might be a philanthropy that you might prefer in one sorority, or something in the open motto in another that hits home.
And no, it doesn't matter how long you've been out of college for AI. For me, it was more than 20 years after graduation before I AI'd-- for others, it's been just a few years. A sorority is forever... a lifetime decision. Don't rush the decision.
