Tom, help me out. I think you're trying to say that there are women on GC who degrade AIs. Can you to point me to these posts? I've certainly not seen that. Yes, AIs are also represented in the "not so popular" group of posters on GC but I don't believe I've seen a post that belittled or degraded a woman b/c she's an AI. Posters can earn that pleasure regardless of how they got their letters or even without letters. Just so were on the same page...an AI is an actual member of a sorority that was initiated after her collegiate years where as a PNAM is a woman who may or may not one day be asked to join a sorority.

In the almost 6 years I've been here on GC, I don't think I've seen an instance where AIs were treated rudely just because she's an AI.

Now, there were a number of occasions where an AI was treated poorly because of reasons other than her membership into an organization via AI. Those are two separate things.

I think someone's just making stuff up again, just like how "AI is the wave of the future." (All future use of that line should be used in quotation marks because I still believe that no International Officer -- president or otherwise -- would ever dare say such a thing)
