Yes, but, isn't that how it ends up for a lot of AIs? For example, when we installed our colony as a chapter at Greensboro College, we initiated some faculty members as they would become advisors. AFAIK, these women had not previously considered joining a sorority, and the opportunity was dropped in their lap.
I don't know if they had previously looked into AI with AXiD or even with someone else, and quite frankly, I really don't care. What matters is that they are now my sisters and they are volunteering their time to the sorority, which is more than I can say for the rest of the girls in my own pledge class who, after only four days of looking at the five other sororities on our campus, chose Alpha Xi. It's obvious that unless an unexpected invitation is extended to an AI, some women have spent years pursuing the group they want.
We constantly remind our PNMs that it's a mutual selection process. Well, I think it's safe to say the same holds true for our AIs.
To everyone who is against "sorority shopping" -- in your opinion, how many groups is too many to look at when searching? Should our AIs only pick one group to pursue, and if it doesn't work out, so be it?
