You are also making the assumption that the length of time a PNAM has to wait has to do with whether the sorority is or is not able to make a decision on her. The waiting time also does not necessarily depend on whether she has proven she wants to be a committed member.
I disagree that AI is normally a quick process. Yes, there are exceptions... but in most cases, it takes a long time. I think it is only fair for those thinking of AI, to know that once they get on the PNAM road, they better buckle up for what will probably be a bumpy and very long ride.

I'd like to second what you have written here.
It took me three years to complete my process, and that certianly wasn't due to the chapter and I not "clicking", or me not putting forth an effort. Believe me, I let these ladies know from Day 1 that I was in it for the long haul, and wanted to give back to DG as much as I could. My alum group is very young and had just formed at the time I found them-I think this definately contributed to the long length of time.
And, to be honest, I'm glad it took so long. I got to know the girls better, find my role in the group, find areas that I could contribute to the fraternity, etc.
I wouldn't change my AI journey one bit if I could.
