Agree with this.

Exactly. It's like everyone on GC debating if PNAIBetty should be a DST. It SHOULDN'T be up for discussion. And even IF it were, ultimately, it doesn't matter what conclusion we come to, because it has no actual bearing on reality, so what's the point? Ya'll just have it under control better...I don't see a D9 AI forum anywhere...

Because there's nothing to discuss.

A large percentage of NPHC initiates are graduate chapter initiates and it's something that's well known and widely accepted for decades. If folks want to know more they can check out our respective websites and talk to their local graduate chapters.

There are other things that we NPHCers discuss and debate that many NPC and IFCers don't see the point or what all the fuss is about. I was just wondering the origins of this GC debate and why there were so many threads.

Awhile ago, a handful of women came and posted their AI stories. Through that, other women have discovered AI and thought "Hey, I didn't get a chance to fulfill my lifelong dream of being in a sorority while in college, but now I can through AI"...and things have gotten out of hand since then. The problem is, AI is relatively new in process to many GCers (even those who have been in the NPC for awhile) and so it's been chaos on how to handle the situation.

I think those individual stories can easily be posted in the individual organizations' sub-forums. I don't see the purpose of a catch-all forum for AI stories since the story is really only about "how I became an XYZ" which is going to be wholly different from "how I became an ABC." Keeping them all in one place just encourages the shoppers.

Well the IDEA was that they were all going in the "Alumni Involvement" forum, and gunking that one up. I agree that they need to go into the individual GLO's forum and get rid of the rest of the mess. Also, it allows that sororities' Mod to determine the appropriateness of the information contained in that AI story.

But what about the people who are sorority shopping? Do they have to post a thread in the forum of each organization they are considering?

Yes. I think that would solve a lot of problems right-quick.
