Joining a Sorority After College

I think either you misspoke in this post or misinterpreted what happened.

ASA has 2 honors (Phoenix Recognition and Mother Patroness) that we can present to nonmembers for service rendered to the sorority, but it does NOT mean that they are members - honorary or otherwise. I'm guessing that DZ has something similar and that's what was actually done (if I'm totally off base, DZs, correct me).

Re the community service sororities, they are not part of NPC so an active/disaffiliated/anything member of an NPC group would definitely be able to join one.

Could be....all I know is that the chapter made two women on campus alumnae initiates, and I was told that at least one of them had been in a sorority when she was an undergrad. Maybe there is another name for what they became in the sorority. This all happened well before I became a sister.

If the woman who was previously in a sorority was in a chapter of the sorority which initiated her as an ai, that would make sense. I have known of women who pledged, but were not initiated, who were later initiated as ais. But as was said previously, once you are initiated into a NPC sorority you may not be initiated into another NPC sorority.
