So now we're comparing AI with collegiate formal recruitment despite all the posts saying that AI is NOTHING like collegiate recruitment?

I respectfully disagree, as well- during Formal recruitment, for instance, all the houses are actively seeking new members and the PNMs going through have been pre-screened to meet at least certain criteria (attending a collegiate institution, often meeting a certain GPA).

No, what I said is that researching multiple groups is about the same as visiting different houses during FR. You have to get to know a group before you want to pursue membership. In no way did I equate the overall processes.

Many people have compared AI to the way that NPHC sororities recruit. What happened in this thread is almost identical to what I've read of their interests' experiences.

Do research, get information, meet the women, express interest (or allow them to express interest in you)

This woman researched, met a group of women, researched again, met another group of women and has expressed interest. If she meets the standards of AI for the sorority that is interested in her, then that sorority has the option of inviting her for membership. It's not like she walked up and said, PLEDGE ME to any and all comers.


/Please note, all experience with NPHC policies are second or third hand, so I'm going based off of what I've seen here on GC
