Let's say AGD allows you to post policy. Someone sees that here and thinks 'oh, well if they do it, then I can do it with XYZ and DEF and maybe MNO too.'
 In that way, we're doing a disservice. Not only is the information misleading, but it could then lead back to sorority shopping which, as a general consensus, is frowned upon in the AI arena.
 If this sub-forum is closed, then anyone with interest would go into either sorority recruitment or alumni involvement, post their question and they would be redirected appropriately.
 Remember the sassy little slogan you see on bid day shirts?
 'It's not for everyone and that's the beauty of it.' This applies 100x more to AI.
 |  If someone gave out incorrect information about a sorority that isn't slander or libel.  If anyone has documentation of someone suing a sorority because they got inaccurate information about joining one I would love to see it for my own amusement (that means, city, state, location, case name...not "Oh, it's been done" generality), because anyone that would file one due to information that they got on a public message board has a few screws loose.  
  
It's a message board like any other, you have to do your own research to make sure that the information you are receiving is correct.

 |  The problem is that it becomes the burden of the GLO to prove the false statements wrong. When you have an initiated member, who represents the GLO, then the statements that the initiated member makes can be viewed as GLO policy, if the person receiving the information does not know any different. 
 
btw, it has happend. Just go over to the Risk Management forum.

 |  I don't want to research the forum.  If a case exists then someone should post the details.

I've got some dirty laundry in mine, so I'm not going to 'out' another org. It's called respect.

 |  I didn't bring legality into it. I addressed the misinformation as a moral issue. In ethics it would be known as a slippery slope argument.  
The problem with this forum on this messageboard is that it creates the illusion that AI is a. common and b. every sorority does it. As I pointed out before, it's a skewed statistical sample of the actual AI demographic.  
I don't hate AI in any way. It's another way to bring wonderful women into my organization. But the existence of this forum is, as I said before, a disservice.
