This is an important post. You took cues and made the necessary contacts w/o needing anyone to hold your hand.
Therefore, why can't there just be a closed sticky in the recruitment forum that states "Some sororities and fraternities have alumnae/graduate initiation opportunities. This is not the same as recruitment as this is typically by invitation-only. For more information please check out the national websites for your organization of interest. There is no general process or general information to provide and we prefer that inquiries not be posted on GC. However, if you wish to provide some info about your own AI experience that you are currently undergoing, not asking how to begin, feel free to do so and your thread will 1) be directed to the appropriate forum and 2) be responded to with the understanding that no one on GC can speak for every organization or every aspirant's experience."

I would actually agree with that process. I think that would be fair.

We all have guidelines for what types of membership information is off limits to share so if aspirants become too detailed, or is obviously just fishing for ANY organization that does AI, they can be "warned" and if need be the the thread can be quarantined...or something like that.

I agree, and that is why people when they first visit the AI Forum should read where it says, "Read here first".

That makes me wonder where the confusion lies. Is the "read here first" too wordy or something? We should all know that with more information volunteered more information is sought after.

Hey, I am so with you on that one! Maybe that should be the first test for AI...if you can't read on a 4th grade level, you don't get any info <winK>

Perhaps members who are familiar with their organizations' requirements for AI are best suited to decide what "the first test for AI" should be.
