Sorry, but there have been toward some such as ZTA and DDD AI members who have voiced their oppinion.
I think you can chalk at least one of those to a personality conflict.
Thank you for posting that are not anti AI, but from what I read, that is in error. There is a listing of AI's who are Anti, but they are now Sisters of said GLO.
From what I've read, I believe they are not "anti-AI" but are against speaking of the process due to some of the things that have taken place on this board and IRL. It's their perogative. You don't have to like it, but you should respect their opinion.
What amazed me in reading some posts there are those who feel that AI's are not real Sisters:
I have not seen those posts. I can only speak for myself and my feelings; members of Chi Omega who are in good standing with our national office are my sisters, regardless of how they joined.
When We have an AI, and that persone goes through Our Ritual, they are given Numbers which means they are Members of Our GLO. Period.
As I, and others, have stated before, membership selection is ritual for sororities. I do not know what specific fraternities consider ritual, just as you don't know what we consider ritual.
When people say they despise AI because they are shopping, well, my question is always, what is Undergraduate Rushing?
Undergraduate recruitment is not the same thing. There is a separate process for undergraduate intake based on mutually recognized agreements between the 26 NPC sororities. There is no, to my knowledge, agreement between the sisterhoods regarding AI. Each group does their own separate PRIVATE process.
It is a person who is trying to find a GLO that they feel comfortable with and this includes both sides.
I have seen so many AIs who have become Members and are very productive
and then are not seen in the same eyes of those that go through the Undergrade Recruitment. These women sweat blood, time and effort to become Members of a GLO!
I would agree that AI's are and should be afforded respect from their specific GLOs.
Then, some seem to take it upon themselves to say they are not as good?
Yes, My Fraternity has had AIs and they have been very produtive as the Ladies have been.
That's fine Tom, but that's not the issue here. You are not discussing how to AI into LXA; why should we discuss how to AI into a sorority?
Give them credit.
