My point is that it goes even beyond that. Even before all the controversy happened, if an AA woman thought "man, NPC sororities look cool, I wanna do that!" and then spent a few minutes online finding out she needs recs, personal connections, etc., how likely is she to continue with the process knowing she doesn't have any of these things?

I have heard PNM's told time and time again on this board that they have to be able to get recs, because they can ask teachers and people at church and so on. The thing is, for AA women living in AA communities, that just is NOT true.

I absolutely agree with just about everything you said there.
