They are checking you out. They were probably told about you from an active and want to make sure you are a good candidate for membership.

I am an active and know alumni advisors from several different sororities. They were the ladies who were helping me when I went through rush. If I have a friend going through rush and I want her to have a good rush, I will let the other sororities know about her as well. I'm secretly hoping my friends will chose my sorority, but as an active I can't guarantee them bids. This at least gives them a chance in other houses.

In my house the actives put together a list of favorite PNM's. The alumni do the same. Then the lists are compared. If a Pnm showed up on the active list and the alumni were not aware of her, they will check her out.
