But I think it was you who opened that door when you said (paraphrasing) if anyone criticizes this AI decision, they are criticizing D Phi E's membership policies as a national organization. That IMO was a big leap, especially since the levels of input and approval from the local alum chapter, the collegiate chapter, the district volunteers, and the national council vary GREATLY from group to group where AI is concerned.
NPC collegiate recruitment is pretty much standard. Girls come to parties. Collegians vote on them. They get bids. Maybe in some groups the alums or advisors have a greater level of involvement, but if you ask group in a college panhellenic what the basic process is, they're going to say "girls come to parties, collegians vote, rushees get bids."
AI is NOT like that - so yes, you probably should preface statements like "AI is a form of recruitment" with "in my organization." Some groups are more receptive to it than others, and among those groups, some areas of the country are more receptive than others. That's a fact, period. Whereas I think that all 26 NPCs are agreed that recruiting collegiate members to their collegiate chapters is a good thing.
