If we do AI, we can say that, but we don't tell outsiders anything about how we choose our members for AI, just like we don't tell anyone how we choose our members as undergrads. I can't speak for any other groups, but I will not discuss anything about AI beyond the basic common knowledge stuff with anyone outside of Alpha Phi.

Very well said, and I agree.
I've also grown uncomfortable when women who are pursuing AI post about it in detail because it seems to (perhaps indirectly) end up revealing information that members of the involved organizations would rather not be public. I can think of one GCer in particular who posted a very long, very detailed account of her AI process, including names of organizations that rejected her and the one she joined. I'd be mortified and appalled to have my organization named in a story like that.
At this point, I don't understand why any hopeful AI would even WANT to post her story on GC before being initiated -- there's too much downside. After she's initiated, like others have said, she's a member and there's no reason for her to post anything in an AI forum. This leads me to believe that the ONLY people who might benefit from the AI forum are those who are shopping for a sorority or trying to determine which sororities are "easier" to join through AI. Why would anyone in the world be in favor of that?
