If we do AI, we can say that, but we don't tell outsiders anything about how we choose our members for AI, just like we don't tell anyone how we choose our members as undergrads. I can't speak for any other groups, but I will not discuss anything about AI beyond the basic common knowledge stuff with anyone outside of Alpha Phi.

Right, but you could talk about basic common knowledge stuff, which for a poster asking a question on GreekChat might be something that she didn't already know. Or an AI member could share her story and remind people how the ideals of a group apply at any age.
There have been some people asserting that anything at all about AI is ritual and shouldn't be discussed period. My point is that, just like rush and new member programs, there are public parts and secret parts.
I've never advocated that ritual or secret information be posted on GreekChat. I've just made the point that anything that is not ritual, a violation of GLO policy, or a violation of the TOS should be permitted as a topic of discussion.
It doesn't mean I think it's a great idea for discussion or that I would discuss it myself. I think some of us make ourselve look bad and like we don't have good sense or good manners. But if it's not a violation of policy, ritual, or TOS, that decision should be left up to the individual.
