You said it. Fraternities offer this kind of thing too- we do it in special circumstances- but it is an honor that comes to the benefactors, not the other way around. My fraternity has AIs whom we esteem and regard. The idea of someone campaigning for that honor is repugnant.

With sororities it is clear why there is more active pursuit of AI by adults who were never Greek- for various reasons a sorority affiliation has more social value after college than a fraternity membership. But that is all the more reason to not make public discussion of it.

I agree with you that there should not be an AI forum on any internet website. The notion of such a forum existing is contrary to what AI is all about. Anyone to whom it is offered will surely be provided with all the information they need to know.

Get beyond that at all and then you are dealing with people who have a motive to attain something that is intended to be an unexpected honor for those who never expected it to come their way.
