I think many women do it because they wanted to be in a sorority in college, but were unable. Some examples:
1) My chapter recently AIed our chancellor's wife, who was president of the local sorority that we were before becoming Gamma Omega Chapter. She had always wanted to affiliate with Gamma Phi after we went national, and she finally got the chance.
2) My mother is interested in AI - she put herself through college at Marquette (which is not cheap) and was working so much that she would not have had the time to join, yet was something she was already interested in.
3) Our Greek Advisor was also recently AIed - she could not become Greek in college due to the school she was at. She didn't fit their image of a sorority woman.
