I would with exactly what you said. It all depends on the AI.

Excuse me, but I thought that this was an open Greek Chat Web Site!

It is owned by one person only and not the property of a few people who want to feel that they want to own it.


Alphafrog, I know what I was refering to, but then again you seem to feel you know me better than I know my self.

There is or was a thread under navanes name, unless it was deleted that listed NPC members and what or how they handle AI.


Thank you for your undieing love anyway!

!

Right, it is an open site. But most people have the common sense not to participate in the discussion of something they don't know anything about.

Was that the one where you and two of your sisters got called out for being AI hypocrites?

Wasn't that the one where I asked a certain moderator to stop harassing me?

Yeah, that's it. I'm pretty sure it was moved.

And Tippie's still recovering from dental surgery. I can only imagine how apeshit she'll be when she gets back.

Such bullshit. People on here are such pansies. I feel as though I am in Communist China. Don't go against the man! For real, people need to seriously chill out. When you can't even have a conversation ON A CHAT BOARD what is the point of the board existing at all?

Earp, you're right some people do want to control GC. But, you need to look in the mirror.

Wait...I'm confused. Are you actually saying that you'd want someone who sorority shopped, and then found and AIed GPhiB to sponsor other women who are sorority shopping, and use that other AI for a "quick in"?

Ok...now I'm confusing myself. This is too much. Just please stop the sorority shoppers before they drive me cuckoo.

No, I think SBGPB is agreeing w/ you and missed a word or two in her post.

Barbara, if you have a problem with this discussion, can you move it out of your forum then? I can understand how this doesn't pertain to AI at all, and so since that's the case can you just get it out of here so that God forbid we don't irritate you?

People are PISSED that threads get deleted. Why can't we freely talk about it?

[valkyrie]

I don't understand -- enough what already? If we're not allowed to contribute honest comments to the discussion of AI, why is this forum here? If threads are deleted with no explanation, it's reasonable to expect people to ask why -- without an explanation, how does anybody know what was objectionable?

[greekalum]

What's especially frustrating is that if you don't log on to GreekChat for one day, you miss half the conversation because it's already gone.

I would have to spend half my life explaining why I deleted certain posts, so would Carnation. Name calling, etc. won't be tolerated and those posts are deleted w/o warning.

Honest discussion is fine, rudeness is not. The AI forum is difficult to moderate, it always has been. It was moved here because Carnation and I are stricter mods that most. The forum was moved here as an experiment to see if it could become a better functioning portion of GC. Can anyone honestly say that has happened?

The only posts I've deleted here are blatantly insulting and rude and don't pertain to the conversation at hand. I've left the discussion here and honestly, it doesn't irritate me. If folks people don't like how a forum is moderated, then they are free to not discuss issues in it. However, Carnation and I will not tolerate personal attacks and posts and threads that degrade to that (most especially pro-AI vs. anti-AI) are going to be closed down. If you want, I'll post a sticky with the names of anti-AI and pro-AI members so that if anyone posts to this forum, they'll know what they are about to get into. Honestly, no matter what we do as mods, it's never going to please everyone and as mods, we get awful tired of cleaning up the same messes time and time again. It's like each new person that posts in regards to specific topics is just another reason to rehash bad feelings.

For me it wouldn't matter, but I would want the sister to be active. Like I wouldn't want her to have gone through the entire AI steps to just initiate, do a couple of things and walk away. Does that make sense? But that would go for any alum in my book.

Like I'm active in the local alum association. There are some sisters who "pop up" once every like 2-3 years to an event and then they are gone. Would I feel it is appropriate for one of them to come in and be like "hey I've got someone I would love for y'all to meet for possible AI membership"? No, but I would meet the person because I don't feel I should blame them or hold them accountable for the members behavior. Does that make sense?

[AlphaFrog]

Makes sense to me.

I was more worried about the PNAI who finally fulfills her lifelong dream of being in a sorority after contacting 8 different groups and finally getting into one who decides to "help" other women fulfill their lifelong dream of being in a sorority...and well...you get the picture...
