The example you provided with faculty members being initiated is nothing like what we see here on GC. And I'm not insinuating that AIs can't be valuable, hardworking members of the sorority. I personally am very proud of the AI DGs that I've met on GC. Hell I'm proud of a lot of the AI women on GC.

I guess it seems that some bad apples are spoiling the bunch, perhaps? We see lots and lots of women who research, use the correct avenues, and use our favorite buzzword - discretion. But not all are like that and I think that's what has been bothering a lot of GCers about the AI forum.

In response to your question: "Should our AIs only pick one group to pursue, and if it doesn't work out, so be it?" There is nothing stopping a woman from persuing AI at a later time with that org. If you loved basketball, if it was your favorite game and basketball was in your heart but you got cut from the team, would you suddenly take up cheerleading? No, you'd work on your game in the off season and come back for try-outs next year.
