....house directors at Pi Phi houses cannot be initiated members. It is to maintain the inpartiality of the HD. It is considered a conflict of interest to be a member. HD are not supposed to be involved in the internal workings of the chapter, disciplinary matters among members or conflicts between officers/ alumnae. The lines get blurred when you are talking about someone who has developed enough of a relationship with chapter members to receive an invitation to membership.
Hmmm... I know that can't be true since our house mom is a Pi Phi, and nationals definately knows that. What thread did you find that on?

In regards to the conflict of interest question, sorority HDs at my school are minimally involved in the chapter. Miss Joan doesn't really have too many responsiblities. She knows nothing about the internal workings of the chapter and we make sure that that stays the case. She cooks us dinner on the weekends when our cooks have off, decorates the tables for the seasons, buys us little goodies, helps keep the house clean, etc... Honestly, she's the greatest, but she doesn't have a real good idea about modern sorority life (she was initiated in 1950!). There really isn't any conflict of interest.
