Even in those cases, there isn't a wide call publicizing an opening for AIs; the sorority simply encourages the new collegiate members to consider asking the women in their lives (moms, aunts, etc.) and on the campus (professors, administrators, advisors, etc.) to consider membership. At least that is what I have seen. Like DeltaBetaBaby said, the sorority may still be quite selective in extending an offer of membership.
I actually participated in encouraging alums of an absorbed local to become alumnae initiates of Alpha Sigma Alpha. There was some very interesting tension in that scenario. Very interesting! I learned a lot, and I truly appreciated the loyalty to the local sorority.

Was this at Capital University by chance?
