Question About Alumni of Local Fraternities/Sororities

[KSUViolet06]

Some orgs do extend that opportunity to alumnae.

I know that there are people on this board who became members of NPCs due to their local affiliating with one (aephialum is one that comes to mind).

The orgs extend the opportunity, but the alums have to decide to take it. It is not automatic.

My local became part of AEPhi while I was an active. At the time, my local had one alumna, who joined us for our AEPhi new member ceremonies; I don't know if she was ever initiated.

It depends on the (inter)national organization. My understanding is that most do offer alum initiation to alums of absorbed locals (indeed, this is the only form of AI that AEPhi offers), but each alum has to decide for him/herself whether to accept the offer and initiate into the (inter)national org.
