Your thoughts on AI: discussion goes here.

So I just thought of an excellent reason that an AI forum isn't needed!

For all the lovely women who have successfully AI'd are FULL MEMBERS! They don't need a seperate forum. If they get to keep a seperate forum then we should also have one for NM/pledges.

John updates the web features of GC from time to time. Sororities update their "features" from time to time, too. It's part of having a good long-term strategic plan for success.

The AI forum was a good idea a few years ago. It's not a good idea now. GC and sororities have changed. That's another reason why the sorority women on GC have asked for the removal of this forum, and I think its a shame that this request isn't being honored.

I don't think that the mods should feel they have to meet every single request or interpret every possible complaint, but for what other reason does GC exist than for GC members? And if the sorority women have identified that there is a forum that is causing open discussion of membership selection processes that is not supposed to be discussed, I for one am disappointed that the mods have not reacted in a proactive way to delete this forum. The AI forum was a good idea a few years back. It's no longer viewed in the same way. Pre-AI membership shouldn't be discussed in this way. Once you are AI, you're our sister-- come on over to your sorority-specific forum and say hello.

Maybe the best thing for all of us to do is to just ignore this forum. The less traffic, the less interest.

I don't see why it's such a big deal. Every sorority has its own policy regarding AI and what can and can't be discussed regarding it, and where. While the officers of AB might not care that Patty PNAI found out about AI from GC, the officers of CDE, might, and would not even consider Patty unless she had a prior connection to CDE. I think it's our job to honor and respect the policies of other organizations, even if we don't agree with them. If that means not talking about AI for a specific organization because its officers don't want it discussed on GC, then so be it.

I agree with adpicf that once you are initiated that you should probably stay in the forum with your GLO...that's understandable. I also agree with KLPDaisy, regarding that every sorority has it's own policies on what it wants openly discussed. If a national GLO has a policy about it, then it's members should follow that.

As a person in contact with a sorority as we speak regarding AI, I guess my concern is that the subject of AI getting shut down on GC by people that disagree with AI, and whether or not they really speak for the sorority as a whole.

If they would get "shut down" by postings on a message board, that's exactly the kind of member sororities do NOT want. Alumna or collegian, for that matter. I certainly wouldn't want to offer membership to someone who thinks everything I have to say is the same viewpoint everyone else in my sorority holds.
