Barbara, I posted this in Tippiechick's thread that got deleted and since it was worth noting, I'm reposting it. In one of the many deleted threads (hmm, do we see a pattern here?) PM_Mama00 said that when she mentioned to a high up person in Phi Mu that she learned about AI from greekchat, the person basically rolled her eyes. That is problem. GC has become so diluted and PC that we are giving out false information. Any woman doing a search for Vera Bradley bags can stumble on GC, learn about AI, and decides that she wants to be in a sorority. She can contact the HQs of every single sorority, but if the officers of that sorority do not want AI's who have no connections to that organization, the so-called "journey" will end there. GC is not the Make a Wish Foundation of greek life. It is not our job to encourage any and every person to find their home. If you delete all of the posts that are not pro-AI and leave only the success stories, then you are falsely sending out a message that AI is easy and that anyone can do it.

I don't feel that I delete the anti-AI posts any more than I delete any other posts. I do delete anti-AI posts that become insulting, rude or patronizing. I've deleted posts by pro-AI folks for the same reason. Any post made to this forum without becoming a exercise in sniping and backstabbing, will be left alone. That has always been our policy.

Bottom Line: Make your point, pro or con, politely and succinctly and it will stay on the forum.

I'm only speaking for myself here, but I feel like certain posters get preferential treatment over others. When someone (name witheld to prevent this from becoming a personal attack) disagrees with others' views, she makes a point of reporting every single post and making sure that everyone on GC knows about this. Those posts are usually deleted at the speed of light. Yet when others disagree with what she is saying or even report her posts, moderators tend to jump in and defend her against the big, bad, world that is GC. I just don't see how this is fair.

And all of a sudden GC has meaning again.

I agree with this 110%.

It's so obvious it's not even funny.

Since I started this thread, to clarify, I was only asking about the two threads that PT deleted because the original poster requested them. It wasn't about any other threads.

I think most of us are aware of that, but since Tip's post discussing other thread deletions got moved, I guess the conversation moved here. The majority of the comments in Tip's thread were AI related, anyway.

So confused......what threads are we talking about? Here's how I understand...first, threads that were requested deleted and now, threads that were deleted that some claim should have been and others claim were targetted unfairly.

Am I straight on this? (Geez, a girl cannot forget about GC for a few days without missing stuff )
