It is happening and that is a fact, period.
It may not be common , but who knows later. 
If I were some of the fine Ladies who have AIed and are called Shoppers or hungry to live the good old days, I would consider this a slap in the face! 
Some of them have worked long, and hard to become Members. They have also been very important members of those Sororitys and have worked extemely hard. Oh, give them another slap in the face for doing this.
Do any of you know except what they posted and the reasons that they could not for what ever reason?
NO. You went through undergrad rush.
I will gaurentee you one thing, they went through a heck of alot more than any of you ever thought about!
Do not give Me any respect, but do not disrespect them as many of you are doing!  |
No one is against AI, we are against an AI Forum. No one has disrespected any member who is an AI because of her initiation as an alumna. I am not quite sure why you insist otherwise.
Yes, we went through undergraduate recruitment. You know, the FUTURE of our organizations is undergraduate recruitment, don't you?
To assert that those who have successfully AI'd went through more than those who went through undergraduate recruitment undermines the purpose of AI and covers those who pursued collegiate membership with an unfair blanket statement. I am sure there are plenty of alumnae members who went through formal recruitment or COR more than once, or experienced uncomfortable situations in their life that were more extenuating than waiting to hear back from a SORORITY to see if they'd been granted membership.
For the record, many of us worked long and hard for our membership (founding a colony, building a house, establishing a new program, serving on an exec., working two jobs in addition to school to pay dues and enjoy membership are just some examples).
AI isn't recruitment, Tom. It's an honor for those with a connection to a sorority and those women don't need to jump through hoops because they've been invited through the proper channels as a way to honor them for their service. AI doesn't exist to fulfill a need of regrets past or to make up for not sucessfully initiating in undergrad.
Tom, I simply don't understand what makes a grown man, a fraternity alumni, so passionate about the goings-on of a women's association. I'm sorry you weren't able to manage this forum when it was under your moderation. I think PT and carnation have been doing a very good job since they took it over, but the point remains that several members just don't want an AI forum and wish for our AI sisters to acclimate to their sororities by conducting their posts and stories within their sorority forums.
ETA: I in no way construe the above to be a violation of the TOS or a personal attack against Tom Earp. My stating that he was not able to moderate this forum previously is a matter of fact, and not opinion, or moderation of the forum would not have been turned over to another set of moderators. I hope it is not seen as a TOS violation. It was not intended as such.
