Another problem with getting AI information off GC as opposed to an official source is that you never know who's giving it to you. I'm not in an NPC sorority, and pretty much all of the posters on here know that. However, tomorrow, a new poster could register, post that she wants to AI and ask for help, and I could theoretically pm her with "information" about TPA (picking a sorority at random) and pretending to be a sister, and she'd take my pm as gospel because she wouldn't know better.

I do feel though that as the askers of information, they should be responsible for determining its veracity.

Gah, I said this (quite eloquently and with a beautiful analogy I might add) a few pages back. GC is like wikipedia. No one should use it as an absolute authoritative resource for anything.
It's easier to go here for undergrad recruitment advice because that's a unified policy and even people who aren't greek have some semblence of an idea what you should or shouldn't do during recruitment. But AI is not common and even greeks don't always know, in fact this is proven in many threads.
