Okay, currently the threads that are stickied to the top of the AI forum are
this one and
this one. I think that second one that Tom posted would be a GREAT one to edit and post a rules/FAQ section. What about something like the following:
AI Forum Advice for PNAIs
*Alumni Initiation is not done by every GLO. (List of women's/men's GLOs that have an AI process goes here.)
*Any questions regarding the AI process or AI sponsorship need to first be taken directly to the said GLO of your pursuit. Period. If you want to know how to AI into ABC then you should contact the national organization. Finding the contact information is easy -- do a search online using a search engine such as Google.
*Remember that mutual selection occurs at the local level first. If fraternity/sorority members wish to help PNAIs connect with a local alumni/ae chapter, it should be done via PM -- NOT in an open forum.
*There are hundreds of AI threads here that have so much information in them -- there is no need to ask anyone here what to do to start your journey. Please utilize the SEARCH function located at the top of the screen.
*Please realize that if you use GreekChat to contact a member of the GLO you are pursuing, you are doing so at your own risk. People on message boards are (relatively) anonymous, and unless you're willing to do some super sleuthing, there's no way to know for certain if the person who's sharing information is actually a member of the organization they claim to represent.
*Do NOT expect anyone on GreekChat to hold your hand throughout the AI process, unless you already know each other in real life (and, chances are, they still won't hold your hand).
*Realize that the success stories you read here are NOT the standard -- AI can be a long and difficult process.
