DZRose, I think AI is such a touchy subject on GC because each group handles it differently (it is harder to do in some chapters than others, and impossible in some) and also because some women don't want to see the privilege abused. I don't agree that the arguments need to get as heated as they sometimes do on this topic, but I can see why some women on here get a little frustrated with the discussions. AI is thrown out there as a last resort sometimes for women who didn't get in while in college or for whatever reason couldn't/didn't pursue collegiate membership. There are certainly cases where AI is warranted and is a benefit to the organization, especially since so many are really pushing for alumni involvement (the key to keeping the org as a whole going is the support of its alumnae since you are an alumna for far more many years than you are a collegiate for), but I also agree that it's not for every woman either.
