The sorority recruitment forum has the exact same issues. How does a college women know she is getting accurate information on the board? If she posts in a GLO she is interested in, how does she even know that the posts she is reading are from actual members, or imposters?
The sorority recruitment forum isn't official either, so why are these women so readily helped (and if they are interested in a specific sorority, they are often assisted in finding their way home with recs solicited on the internet, etc).
Why aren't they told that they need to have these discussions with their recruitment counselor? Isn't that what she is there for? To explain how recruitment works, give wardrobe advice, etc?
I don't see how the two are different. Both are not official.

You also missed the part where I said that even without GC, a PNM can still get the information she's seeking anywhere else on the internet. You can't do that for AI.
GC is treated like a greek wikipedia. For the most part, the information is accurate, but you don't know for sure. The reason PNMs are so readily helped is because recruitment is an open event and the main mode of intake for GLOs. AI isn't. Did you find anywhere else that provided AI information when you were looking on the internet?
