I think some groups do not want to do this because there could still be liability issues, according to the insurance companies--because if it looks, like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. If the group was entirely former collegiate members of a sorority and they were doing social and service activities as a group, then it is possible that someone may still consider that group affiliated, and, in our litigious society, if something were to happen, the sorority could be sued. What would be better would be to form a local alumnae association, keep it covered by the national insurance, and try to get members from other chapters to join.
