Cautiously dipping a toe in here...

I think its important to note that when you alumna initiate you don't really "pledge" a sorority--if that is what you are looking for then those other groups might be more of what you are expecting (I don't know what their education process is). Alumna Initiation is more of an honor, so while you learn about the sorority through your sponsor, there is no formal "pledging" process---at least for my group, and I think most.

And as kddani said--the ages range. An AI is usually a woman with some life experience (late 20's) up to grandma's of members (like mine who was 76 at the time of initiation.)

First off: hello and welcome dukemama!

In response to your post, I have to agree with what both posters in front of me. If you do decide on the NPC route the questions that kddani posed are questions that you will be asked. Also, my two cents, if you go the NPC route by all means be as discrete as possible. The fewer details about yourself that are out there, the better!!!

Best of luck with whatever you decide!
