No one asked a particular person a question. If someone asked a question that is clearly printed on say a pamphlet I was holding or the bible or a hymn that I could point them to, then yes I would.

But I do. Refrain from answering anything AKA related until you are a member and know more than me. Just because you're entitled to an opinion, doesn't mean you should share it. That is all.

I think any person pursuing Greek membership (NPHC or otherwise) could benefit from learning to show some humility and realizing that they have something to learn.

^^^This^^^

I would also guess that many organizations (NPC, NPHC or otherwise) only publicly post general minimum membership requirements on their national/international web sites. A chapter's or university's requirements could be much more stringent. If you are not a member of a specific group, you have no idea what their membership selection criteria are.

Apparently you missed the memo that membership is a free for all.

CDancer, what everyone is trying to say is that you need to sit quietly and just observe. No one is saying you're incapable of answering questions. No one here in this thread thinks they're better because they're greek. The thing is that when it comes to information regarding greek life, it is best left to those that are members. If you have to say "ABCs/XYZs please feel free to chime in", then it's probably best for you to not even bother. Do you like for non-family members to speak about your family affairs and then be like "CDancer please feel free to chime in"? They can handle their own, and as a newbie to GC and as a non-greek, it just makes it seem like you're trying too hard.

...hence the name type almighty.

Some of us were always better and Greekdom added to that.

ETA: The funny thing is that Type Almighty is not only claiming to be a nonGreek but he/she is claiming that his/her SISTER is the aspirant. Not him/herself. That's even funniererererererer....
