An "Interesting Spin"

Why won't you answer our questions? Are you willing to sponsor women on GC for AI?

You seem to have a very odd definition of "bullying." The thread you refer to is a discussion on world politics. Asking someone to explain some religious verses is part of the discussion. As I stated to you, I'm happy to debate the bible with you if you like.

Am I willing to sponsor women on GC for AI? If they met the criteria for ZTA's honorary initiation, and if I knew them personally and thought they would be a valuable member.. sure. I have never written a rec for anyone I have not met and known personally.

If she did meet the criteria for ZTA honorary initiation, but have never met her, nor know her personally, I would be happy to help her get in touch with the right people and give her moral support. Would I write a rec? No... just as I would never write a rec for anyone in journalism that I didn't know well.

I "encourage" people to follow their dreams.. whatever they may be. I have recently helped a young lady that I know get into engineering school (wrote a letter of reference for her because she was an outstanding person who I knew from another organization I belong to)-- yet I am not an engineer.

I hope that answers your question. Now.. some of us have jobs to go to... so I'm afraid I'll have to leave this to you all.

So gang.. have fun, debate this thread, but don't break the TOS!

My friend needs a letter of reccomendation for medical school. You're not a doctor. Will you still write her a letter of reccomendation for her? After all, she is following her dream.

And after she gets into Med school, BA can sponsor her for AI. Afterall, she'll have tons of free time to persue it.

Then why are you pumping your fist like Burgess Meredith in Rocky when someone else does it, especially w/ AI, and why are you supporting it? I would never recommend anyone I don't know personally for my sorority in any capacity for anything, and it squicks me out when I see anyone on here doing it in any way shape or form.

Maybe because it isn't YOUR sorority? Maybe because you know dang well AI in ZTA isn't that common so you can be a cheerleader without actually having to follow through or worry about who will end up in your sorority?

Getting into engineering school really isn't rocket science. I know this, because I did it.

You never told me where the post I referenced went. I guess you did realize that you get deleted too. Or maybe your head is back in the sand.
