If you met a girl at a bar who was dancing on top of the bar and stripping and the next night you saw her at rush, wouldn't you be cautious? That's the same thing for many of the women on GC. They are loyal and devoted members of their sororities and want to protect their integrity, reputation, and good names. If they see a PNAM on GC revealing their true colors on GC and acting in not so positive way, why shouldn't they try to influence HQ's decision when it comes to that person's AI?

Other threads have been deleted or edited. There are some PNAIs who got caught up in this fight, but usually the attack isn't so much at them as around them.

KLP, when one starts with the "you are not in a sorority so you are not comprehending this" that is about as weak as "you don't have kids so you don't know anything about raising them" or "you are not married so you don't understand".

I don't understand why everything regarding AI has to be such an argument.

It seems like you're trying to have it both ways -- you're saying that why a woman wants to join a sorority isn't anyone's business and is between her and the organization. That's fine and I agree. The thing is, after she posts about it on the internet, she's making it everyone else's business. She could keep it between herself and the organization by not posting about it on the internet.

No, guys, look at how we are attacking her for saying the decision is up to the local AA. Her being misinformed is her business and we are bullying her by correcting her.

Why is that a weak argument? I don't have kids. So now, I truly don't 100% understand the responsibility or the role of being a parent. I can't and I won't unless I ever become a parent.

Which is, again, a problem with these blind postings. What is the point of these "pursuit" threads? Encouragement? What if the organization the woman is pursuing does not do AI or the woman doesn't meet their criteria- does she really need pages of un-related women posting, "Oh, I hope (Code Name) calls you back"? What purpose does it serve?
