Sorry, not really a proper question is it?
At least at this point in time.

Sorry, my reading comprehension skills are bad tonight.
On their national webpage I found this link for alumnae chapters. Maybe you could get in touch with someone from your area?
http://www.kappaalphatheta.org/alumn...ae_Chapter.cfm
It's also possible that now that you've said which group, someone with more knowledge could pm you.

Once you have "alumna" status, I am quite certain that you cannot revert back to "collegian" status (and you would have flipped over to "alumna" status once you left that school).

this is a little bit of a highjack: will any groups let a member who resigned as an active re-initiate though AI?
I recently learn of a situation in which a mom resigned while she was an undergraduate (not any kind of scandal but did resign), but now has a daughter in the group. And it just seemed a little sad to me that the mom couldn't participate as fully as if she had remained a member. I don't even know if the mom would want to. It just started me thinking about it.

What was her status upon separation? She would have to have taken alumna status if she were no longer active, but still on campus. If she went "inactive", did she disaffiliate, was she removed, or something like that?
I know what my GLO's policy is, as it is in our bylaws, and I am sure each sorority is different, but the answers to these questions would be important.

I've never talked to the mom about it. The term used as I heard the story was "de-sistered" which suggests intentional disaffiliation and termination of membership to me.
I tend to think the answer is no, but I was just wondering.

You should contact Kappa Alpha Theta headquarters and ask them. They are the only ones who can answer questions about their membership policies. The rest of us have no clue whatsoever.

Why do you think that, Tom?
Some of what the OP has said makes me wonder if she might be NPHC rather than NPC. (ETA: I misread alum chapter as grad chapter, sorry.)
Additionally, it varies from group to group whether alumnae initiates have to be graduates. (ETA: since she's been initiated, this doesn't matter.)
What group she is in is in fact a pertinent question as far as the information she is seeking, it seems to me.
Why do you think differently?

...if the answer to both questions were yes, then mostly likely you could be a member of an alumnae chapter.

Yes, I was initiated...I'm not sure what "good standing" means exactly. I wasn't kicked out or anything like that.
