I just wanted to add something to the non-collegiate issue. My sorority never really was geared towards non-collegiates, but we did have a policy where we had a regional chapter for women attending either 2-year or junior colleges or school were they did not have a formal Greek system. What we learned is that once the core group of interestees moved along (which was pretty fast), the chapter would die out. We never really officially recinded that policy...however it is coming under review...and will probably be eliminated because it was not successful.
What many sororities
do have however, is a seperate membership status called "associate". Depending on the sorority, associate members can hold a lot of the rights collegiate sisters do (each organization decides rather associates are to be called sisters or not). Usually, associate sorority members are not expected to keep up a unique chapter and/or hold the same time committment that collegians do. That may be a better option in your case.
