One person.. that's what all this "big deal" is about? I'd still like to know who this was and who sponsored her.
What's the problem if a bunch of people ask.. just say no. And.. I haven't seen a "slew" of sponsorship requests. Where are they?
All that is needed is a "stickie" that says "Do not request sponsorship from GC members." Simple painless solution to a problem I just, frankly, don't see.

When she posted her story and mentioned that she was offered sponsorship on GC, it seemed to invoke a virtual slew of "SPONSOR ME!!!!" requests. I'm not going to comment on this particular woman's story since she's been initiated now and that's all that matters, but unfortunately, it seemed to put the idea in the random PNAIs' heads that you could just get anyone from the internet to sponsor you or walk you through the AI process for their sorority.
ETA: the problem is not with this particular woman, or that this only happened once, the problem is it's really obnoxious when PNAIs basically spam the board with "sponsor me" requests. Most have been deleted now, but these same PNAIs are the ones that start bitching and cussing everyone out on the board when the GCers are like "This is not the appropriate forum to contact your group." It's obnoxious that this bs clogs up what should ordinarily be an interesting forum.
