Why is AI so long???

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

I started to hijack another thread then thought better.

This isn't directed towards anyone in particular, I would just really like to know the answer from another GLO. If you want to just PM me, feel free.

Why does this take so long???????

Is it because the PNAM is looking at more than one group (which is perfectly understandable, we all did that during recruitment) or do some GLO's make them go through more than we do? Is it the alumnae chapters not knowing what AI is? I can understand summer getting in the way (no events) and the fact that most chapters only have initiation twice a year (assumes formal and informal recruitment).

I guess I'd really just like to know how the GLO's could do better.......

We took about 9 months with our last AI (my alumnae chapter) but we had the initiation issue mentioned above. But the woman knew after only a few months that she was going to be initiated and then it was just waiting for the date.

I really just don't understand what makes it take a year or more........
