Exactly, and thank you for quoting the original post- I was too lazy to go back and do it myself.
From what I have seen there have been many great stories and posts on AI, but when shopping for AI becomes accepted practice- comments like the one made about Gamma Phi Beta are inevitable.
My fraternity has a few AIs, but it is never really discussed. They are not AIs- they are brothers, pure and simple. And the selfless work they did without seeking reward gives a pretty hard perspective on those who just want to get in a GLO as an adult.
When I first came to GC, I was surprised to see any AI discussion- but was pretty cool with it, and content to just read about it and offer a thought here and there. But over time it has made me kind of sick to see what some people are willing to do in order to get in.
But at least GLO members are giving out honest advice when people ask. As long as the forum exists, people who post wanting help with sorority shopping should be prepared to face the same kind of hard questions and tough reactions they will get when they start contacting chapters.
