I don't know what exact facebook group you were viewing, but facebook groups specifically for SAI have been forbidden by Nationals. The vote took place at the last convention in 2006. I don't think you were initiated then, so you probably didn't know. It just speaks for the credibility for the people who created the group. And, the fact that obviously, they can't follow directions either.

On topic:
Paddles seem like they refer to hazing, which...obviously is forbidden. So I personally think its best to stay as far away from hazing, or anything to do with it,as possible.

I agree with this woman's post on the 'sub rosa' issue.
"Post #10
I was also at convention, as well. As I feared, that statement was largely misinterpreted by many chapter members, and was clarified by several NEB members later.
Being in contact with other sisters online is OK, as is a community group such as this. It's discussing fraternity business on the site (such as we are doing right now) that she wants us to avoid. College students cannont be expected to just meet SAI's in person- I know I don't have the kind of $$ to fly from city to city to see if I can make SAI friends in person. The point of the groups is to make it easier to get in contact with other members.
I have personally gained many new friends through this Facebook page, and I think it would be remiss of the NEB to request us to remove it. An open frum like this is valuable for inter-chapter relationships, where we can make our membership known, and share our experiences with other sisters. As long as our discussions stick to who, what, where, and when, and
exclude chapter business,
then we are fully within the parameters set forth by the NEB. I think it is up to the members to uphold the constitution with honor, exhibit some degree of self-control, and refrain from discussion of fraternity business. It is not hard, and does not require withdrawl from the the group to do so. I will continue my membership here, and I encourage others to do so" [Name and date of post edited out]
I'm a member of the SAI facebook group.
