I just came here hoping to find input on my circumstances. Once again, I'm sorry if you feel I'm abusing my ability to post.

There are many more issues than that and you are oversimplifying the process.
First and foremost, AI is an honor bestowed on a few chosen women and every sorority has its own requirements. Even if a sorority does AI, don't expect them to convey that honor on someone who has been active in an interest group and is recently graduated. Just like recent collegiate member graduates, a newly minted AI is not an appropriate adviser for a group she was already close to. She's still too much of a peer and lacks both the experience and perspective required to deal with collegians. Additionally, an AI doesn't hang out and enjoy collegiate life and experiences. It's a very different thing and usually it's the local alumnae who are tasked with the process of vetting AI candidates.
You are not for all intents and purposes a fifth year undergraduate. You have received a Bachelor's degree and are an unclassified graduate student. This is an important distinction as sororities have very specific language detailing who is eligible for collegiate membership. I have seen several that prohibit graduate student that specifically prohibit anyone who has a bachelor's degree, no matter what their current student status might be.
One last thing. From your other posts, you said that you went through recruitment while an undergraduate and did not receive a bid. That caused you to start the push for an interest group. This is very different from not clicking with sororities on your campus.
