For this very reason, I urge women to tread with caution and not contact multiple local groups on their own. After all, sorority women in different groups can and *do* talk to each other....how embarrassing would it be to have your name come up and be found out to be "shopping around"?

My goodness, you sound mad at me.
I'm not really disagreeing with you in a big way. I agree that women should not approach 15 different alumnae groups in town at one time. What I AM saying is:
- I think it's ok if a PNAM approaches the local alumnae group if the National HQ does not respond after a reasonable time.
- It's ok to approach a 2nd national organization if the first does not respond after a reasonable time.
By "reasonable time" I'm talking 2-3 months.
Women who have absolutely no problem with their journey to alumna initiaion will be able to follow your suggestions 100%. Women who have lots of obstacles to overcome may have to adjust your guidelines in order to be appropriate to their situations. Surely that's ok, right? I mean, the alumnae panhellenic in Los Angeles will be different than the Alumnae Panhellenic in New Orleans. Yes, by all means, be aware; but also be aware that the guidelines aren't one size fits all.
Everyone should use their best judgement on how to approach things. CP2000 gives some excellent advice regarding alum initiation. Do your best with it as your situation allows and that's the most anyone can ask.
