That's when you bang your head on the wall and explain that it's apples and oranges.
We also know that every group at Penn State will be taking a pledge class this semester (unless there are some sort of bizarre unforseen extenuating circumstances). We DON'T know that every sorority will be taking AIs this semester, this year, or EVER.

I'm not going to say I disagree with you on many of your points. The President of the AA Chapter that I am having AI discussions with said that she had an AI recently that came to them, and discovered at the local Alumnae Panhellenic meeting that she had been turned down at 5 other organizations. THAT is sorority shopping.
I think those women are few and far between and I'll admit here that I am definately assuming that, but it just makes sense. The sorority that I am personally speaking to, I have no idea of what they are looking for, and there is one other that I would consider, but other than those two, that is where the search would stop for me. The other NPC groups are great, but are not a "match" of things that would interest me.
I just don't necessarily think it's fair to group all PNAI's into a group that "doesn't understand" how things work, or saying we all "get confused" and don't realize that Rush and AI are different animals.
Most of us are well-aware and I haven't seen but probably one or two on the AI forum that were seriously mis-informed.
