PNAMs should not have to ask - a simple "read this first" thread directing them to contact the sorority of their choice should be enough. Why get information on what a PNAM feels is very important from someone random on GC when you could go to the actual source, the sorority, and get the most accurate information possible?

They can email IHQ, ask if they have AI and if they qualify and if so, how do they begin the process and get all of the information they need through correct channels, NOT GC.

Completely agree.

Even though people say contacting HQ can be the wrong thing - I contacted one b/c I didn't know their AI policy and I asked about it. They politely told me I had to know someone in the sorority and they didn't allow people to contact them to get introduced for AI and wished me well. They weren't offended I asked, I wasn't offended they told me I didn't qualify and it worked out just fine.

Thank you for clarifying this. I know that I was led to believe that contacting our Executive Office would be a very bad move on the part of a PNAI, but the person who told me that is a stickler for the rules and may have overstated the situation.

Note: I'm going to compare AI to Recruitment, I know this is not a direct comparison, etc.

In theory, this would be ok. Except that this is like saying that a PNM shouldn't ask questions on here, they should read a sticky and ask their Greek Life office. I don't think it's a bad thing for PNAMs to talk about their stories ahead of time. If anything, it lets you correct things before they progress to far.
