She actually is an alumna of Eta Psi. You can find it in the National Bylaws
in Article III, section 2, (7):
(7) Alumni Membership.
Upon leaving their respective chapters without having been suspended or
expelled by their chapters or the National Fraternity, all who have held
active, advisory, or honorary membership in a collegiate chapter shall be
recognized as alumni members. Advisory members shall be recognized as alumni
members when they become Life Members or upon leaving their respective
chapters.
The part about paying the fee to become a Life Member also allows for
non-graduation (Article VIII, section 8):
Section 8. Life Membership Fee.
Life Membership shall be granted to all undergraduate active members and to
alumni members within one year of their obtaining alumni status who are in
good standing and have contributed fifty dollars ($50) in a single sum or
cumulatively to the National Fraternity and to graduate, advisory, honorary,
and other alumni members who have contributed one hundred dollars ($100) in
a single sum or cumulatively to the National Fraternity. The Life Membership
fee, in turn, shall be contributed to the National Alpha Phi Omega Endowment
Fund.
So it depends on how long ago she left CSU-Chico as to how much her
contribution is. If it's a year or less, then $50. If more than a year, $100.
