The speculation about alumnae (in any of the UofA chapters) withholding donations is just that - speculation that provides fodder for sensationalized news stories. I know many active alums of many UofA chapters, and as far as I know, this has no basis in truth.

Unfortunately, articles like the one linked use plenty of errors to spin the story, like this one, which is not true:

Last fall only 3 or 4 AA girls participated in NPC recruitment. It will be interesting to see if more elect to participate this year. If these girls feel they will be the hounded subjects of sensationalized news stories, some may be reluctant to participate.
