(I don't think we ought to be advising people to do stuff in CONFLICT with national policy, but the standard of only discuss what's on the website is going to be really boring.)

I think it's safe to say that if you only find it on the "Members Only" portion of the web site, that it shouldn't be shared with non-members.

Put it this way, AI info isn't even on the Sisters Only side. It's not on the web, period. It can, however, be found in the Membership Handbook.

You're right, which is about the only handbook not available on the Sisters Only side of the web site, for good reason. That, along with Ritual information, are too sensitive for even the Sisters Only side of the web site.

Except for The Quartly article which explains that AI exists and outlines who is eligible which on the general site and is available to everyone, you're right.

The fact that even that general information is not on the website -- you have to dig through the Quarterly archives for it -- convinces me enough that it's something that JUST SHOULDN'T BE DISCUSSED ONLINE.

That Quarterly article was written for the sisters, not for AI hopefuls. Can you imagine a PNAM coming up to a member, article in hand, saying, "according to this, I'm eligible for AI...sponsor me!" ?

Well, you'd have to dig through, except for the link on the GreekChat Alpha Gamma Delta forum titled Alumnae Initiation with the reference to the issue. But it's on the public IHQ website, so I guess it's cool. (It's also the first thing returned in a Google search for Alpha Gamma Delta and Alumnae initiation. Yes, as a matter of fact, I am a complete nerd.)

It's because I find people approaching with article in hand so hard to imagine that I don't think it's likely to happen.

But I haven't been around here to see what you've seen.

(Really, if I were approached about joining a group, I probably would do my own online research into the group because I'm a nerd like that. It seems like an AI subforum could be used for good reasons too.)

That's how SK is. Info is nowhere on the website nor is it on the Sisters Only section. It's in the membership handbook. Membership handbooks are NOT something that every sister has either. Only the VPM has it during her time as VPM.
