Right, well the question posed is what we could do to better stream line this sub-forum.
I'm not into having arguments with people; I'm all about creating
real and
reasonable solutions.
I recently updated the AI Roll Call List as a compromise between the people who wanted to keep it and the people who wanted it down. There is now a disclaimer above the list. I posted the added material for discussion and it was largely ignored.
I'm going to post it again below in hopes that this revision will at least go some of the way towards addressing the concerns that some people have regarding this sub-forum. Any thoughts?

~~~ Please keep in mind the following points: ~~~
1) This informational list is presented as a means of celebrating those who have achieved alumni initiation. Out of the hundreds of thousands of fraternity and sorority members in existance, only a small handful are initiated as alumni. Please do not see this long list of names and be fooled into thinking that it is easy to become an AI. The reason that there are many people on this list is because GreekChat has a very large membership base. There are over 47,000 people on GC and 39 AIs listed....that's only .08%.
2) Just because one may see certain sororities represented more frequently on the list, this does NOT imply that they are "easier" to get into. I highly encourage you to evaluate all of your options and seek out an organization you identify with in your heart. Do not go for one because "it looks like they alum initiate more people".
3) Please be advised that this list is for information purposes only - this is NOT a list of people who are willing to sponsor potential AIs. Please refrain from contacting strangers on the internet and asking them if they can help sponsor you. There are several threads in this forum which offer lots of helpful advice on how to approach this process.
