General information is not available because there is no general NPC policy. The only relevant information is available from that organization only.

No one has posted on this entire thread that NPC had a general AI policy.

You asked why people couldn't seek general information. I answered.

It just seems cruel and unnecessary.

Its such a BURDEN to remember what we're implying when we post.

I assume you meant "general posting" as in the person will not give specific information about the process and the sorority she in pursuing. However, with the "looking for general information" part, how can people offer general information when there's nothing general about AI other than that it is by invitation-only?

Fair question and I'll give you an example.
I have read alot, where the PNAI don't know who to contact, the local AA of the GLO or their HQ's. I think everyone who is seeking AI has been told to contact the HQ's first because many of the AA's are not aware that their sorority (for the ones that do) does AI or have no idea of how to go about the process.
That is the kind of general information I'm talking about. Things like that.

The point everyone is making is that there is no general information beyond the example you gave. So that's the extent of information anyone can provide: "Contact the organization's HQ". Can you think of any other "general information" questions? So basically we should sticky a thread entitled "Contact HQ with any AI questions" and we would be done with it?

I think that AIs should be able to post questions and such as well. Even if there isn't an AI forum.

This kind of "how to find an organization that will take you as an AI" information is NOT provided by any organization and is exactly the kind of thing that has caused the AI forum to be so contentious.

Right so how many times can that general advice be given? That's why we have "so you wanna be an XYZ?" or "no membership inquiry" sticky threads in NPHC forums and certain aspirant threads get closed. There's not much that we are willing to say to these people and what CAN be said has already been said kazillions of times.

That's because as far as I know there isn't one. As has been stated several times, each of the 26 NPC organizations sets their own policy for AI. I'm familiar with my sorority's policy as I attended the convention where it was voted on, but I know absolutely nothing about the other 25 groups' polcies.
If you know of some NPC general AI policy that I'm not aware, please post it or direct me to a link to it as I'd be curious to read it.

Other than some recommendations about rush, which we all know is totally differently than AI, does the NPC have general rules about anything that individual groups do?
Maybe a few like, if you are in one group, you can't be in another group.
But in general, GLOs don't have the same policies.
No one expects that they do.
Yet, we still have GreekChat conversations about what groups do. Everyone understands that just because one group does something one way, it doesn't mean that every group A) does that one thing and/or B) that if they do it, they do it the same way.
I'm not sure why people find "that different groups have different rules about AI" means that no one can discuss AI.
It seems to be another example of how a rule applied to AI doesn't seem to guide other areas of GreekChat.

I agree, but I don't know that I'm particularly guilty.
I don't think I, individually, am especially responsible for it going in a circle. I'm sure that I contribute.
Maybe: Although Alphagamuga acknowledges her contribution to the circular nature of the AI discussion, the complete culpability for the recursive nature of the discussion rests with all.
