I just wanted to say that I understand that you feel like we are kind of "jumping down on you" but if you can't answer these questions posed to you, then you aren't ready for AI.

You have to be incredibly patient with AI because it is much more complicated than FR. In college it's a mutual selection process. AI, yes you might have "chosen" the sorority because you felt a connection in college or a connection with the philanthropy. It's more about you "selling" yourself to us. Making us "want" to sponser you as a AI member. It's no longer mutual selection with a nice bid card, it's the sorority determining a "yeah" or "nay" on the PNAM's "application".

In all honesty if a PNAM came up to me and wanted information on AI or wanted me to sponser them I'd be asking all of these tough questions and probably more.

I know sororities are trying to grow and expand on AI but it is still a pretty new concept (and I mean that in the terms that publically it's been talked about for only the last decade even though some sororties have been doing AI since the 50's). A lot of sororities AI programs are run with the PNAM's being known by one of the active alums, not a PNAM contacting the sorority. Not that I'm saying the latter should 't happen b/c I feel it should, but change takes time.

I'm sorry if I sound mean or brutal but that is the reality of AI and you need to be prepared for the long process and the tough questions.
