Not to be a Debbie Downer, but based on the facts in the article, I don't think she will be a real AI. It sounds more like they are granting her some type of honorary membership. It sounds like she never completed college.

I think only a ZTA could comment on whether or not it would be an honorary membership or not. If she were initiated as an Alpha Sigma Alpha sister, she would be considered a sister with no special designation, other than the fact she joined as an AI.
I think this is a beautiful story!

Right, but the article does not make it sound as though they held an initiation. They reference a luncheon, but that's it.

Would you be in a hurry to see a 90 year old woman in a catsuit? *shudder*
I think this is a lovely thing to do, no matter what the details are. The ZTA Washburn chapter must be a classy group of ladies!

It sounds real, either the newspaper writer 1) doesn't know much about sorority initiations or 2) does know/is Greek and is discreet to the point of being unnecessarily closed-mouthed.
Not all groups require a college degree or college, period, for AI.
