As fulfilling as alumna membership has been to most of us posting on this board, it is not anything nearly close to what most 19 year olds are seeking out of sorority membership. My suggestion to the OP is that she does reach out to the local alumna chapter with the understanding that there will be some activities that she is interested in and other that she is not. I would also encourage her to seek out other on campus organizations that will not replace active sorority membership may help to fill that social void that I'm sure she's feeling right now.
I would also encourage the OP to continue to seek out friendships in an organic way with active members of her sorority via other campus organizations. Perhaps she might have another chance to affiliate in time or be invited to some events. I know rules vary from sorority to sorority.

I get what you are saying, but I think that relationships are built by suiting up and showing up and being friendly and helpful.
So maybe ask if you can help? And then back off if they say "No."
