Your thoughts on AI: discussion goes here.

I apologize if it seemed that I was asking for your credentials. I was really questioning why you thought it was appropriate to limit others' speech in this way.


If you would like the ADPi policy to be what you described, that's one thing. I assume you know the wishes of your group. But all groups may not share your position.

(Don't you think it would take even more effort from the mods. to do what you described rather than have one forum to keep an eye on?)

We've come to a collective agreement in the course of these discussions that discussing AI is akin to discussing membership selection-- which for all of us is ritual. Across the board, there is no NPC group holding AI as open recruitment. I don't think this makes more effort for the mods. They mod their own forums and delete inappropriate content as it is posted.

AI isn't for people who stumble onto GC and learn about it. It's for the Greek moms, real life sisters and real life friends and charity volunteers who support our organizations and philanthropies, and who are nominated for the honor. AI, in its current form, for most of the NPCs, means we come to YOU and invite you. It's not about poking your head in the door and seeing if anyone is home. It's about being invited to come home.

I used to be an international officer for my sorority. Part of my role involved the support and approval of AI candidates. I thought it would be great to try to more aggressively promote this program to our members and to try to find women in different areas and connect them with alumnae. And you know what? It was like talking to a brick wall. Yes, most of us do AI. But most of us are really resistant to being matched up with a PNAI or are overwhelmed at the idea itself. I can think of two GC'ers who resided in my district that I tried to put in touch with a local alumnae group. The alumnae just weren't interested.

AI isn't recruitment. It doesn't belong in a recruitment forum. And right now, it doesn't need promoting. We've talked about Sorority Shopping... It's like people soliciting a Lifetime Acheivement Award for themselves instead of having the honor conferred upon them.

AI isn't recruitment, isn't the future, and doesn't need a sub-forum.

Will you autograph my soapbox? I love you and want to frame this post!
