Too many women have come over the years who 1. seem to be doing it for the wrong reasons, 2. seem to be going about it the wrong way. Is there a right way? Well not really since each organization has a different way of doing things. This is why the PANM should know someone in the organization who can "guide" them and support them on this journy. AI is not something taken lightly and I think that is why so many have gotten up in arms about it lately. It is a very serious and special honor bestowed on someone who is felt to be deserving by MANY members, not just a handful, especially not by just ones on an internet chat board.
I agree with you but I would take what you said a step further. AI is about many women agreeing. GC has no real part in that process. That's why I don't see it as a negative to allow people to post here. Because it doesn't matter if NPCgirl1235456 likes PNAM5092, so why not post about it.

I think it's important for support and general information not to encourage AI. Even if the subforum were to be removed, discussions that pop up elsewhere should not be shut down, but should be [B]discussed.[B]

And perhaps that is the way to go. Remove this forum, but allow AI postings in Greek Life or wherever else. Thus GC is not seen to encourage anything. (Which I don't think it does at all.)
