For me it wouldn't matter, but I would want the sister to be active. Like I wouldn't want her to have gone through the entire AI steps to just initiate, do a couple of things and walk away. Does that make sense? But that would go for any alum in my book.

Like I'm active in the local alum association. There are some sisters who "pop up" once every like 2-3 years to an event and then they are gone. Would I feel it is appropriate for one of them to come in and be like "hey I've got someone I would love for y'all to meet for possible AI membership"? No, but I would meet the person because I don't feel I should blame them or hold them accountable for the members behavior. Does that make sense?

Makes sense to me.

I was more worried about the PNAI who finally fulfills her lifelong dream of being in a sorority after contacting 8 different groups and finally getting into one who decides to "help" other women fulfill their lifelong dream of being in a sorority...and well...you get the picture...

That is exactly what frightens me. I just shudder at the thought of this one girl who couldn't get through and kept trying, even the worst chapter that disbanded because of numbers wouldn't take her, then becoming a sister and bringing in her equal minded friends to get even or fulfill some dream of sorority life that she saw in a magazine or 90210.

This forum is becoming, or already is, a trainwreck though.

Totally agree 100%.

I think it's a trust your sisters thing. She's still only one member of an alum chapter. If all of a sudden the chapter went from initiating a woman once every... 10 years to initiating a woman a year, HQ would take notice.

I figure that there are enough protections in the way from Nationals down to the Alum chapter that would prevent something like that from getting out of hand.

Of course, you never know but it could turn out that you end up with 25 excellent active alums. Unfortunately it loses the meaning of "alum" when everyone joined recently. hmm.

Like I said earlier today, the AI subforum has proven to many of us that you can't always trust your sisters.

Not every single one, but as a whole...

Yes, but is that any different than when a new member undergrad is selected and then does nothing to help her GLO afterwards?

So being worried about a new AI doing nothing is just as ridiculous isnt it?

So instead of worrying so much about PNAIs worry about something else.

Like who is not doing a thing for Your GLO after graduation.

I didn't realize Lambda Chi Alpha had gained control over what NPC sorority members should and should not concern themselves with.

Perhaps the NPC should redesign their website to indicate LXA's authority.

Perhaps you should take your own advice before you start dishing it out to other people.

OOOOOH NOOOOO, another thread has been locked! :(

And some posts were deleted. :confused:

Maybe YOU should eat a piece of me so you sweet up a little.

Sorry - I didn't know that. I usually try to verify the site but with so much clean-up in that thread, I bypassed it.
