Your thoughts on AI: discussion goes here.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a rec for a PNAM helps a lot more than a rec for a PNM.
The PNM may still have made it into a chapter easily without a recommendation because of quota/recruitment considerations etc., but a PNAM isn't going through recruitment (I heard somewhere that the two were different.) and has a much lower chance of getting in in the first place, ESPECIALLY without a recommendation from a member.

A woman cannot participate in the AI program without a sponsor. Hence, those who have been been invited to join through the AI program have come through the recommendation of an alumnae or collegiate chapter, and have a sponsor to guide them through ritual. There are no "recs" for AI members. The decision is made by a group of individuals to approach them about membership through the AI program.

Okay... I take it back. Sponsoring a woman through AI definitely helps more than writing a recommendation for undergrad recruitment.

While what you say may be true for ADPi, I can assure you, all of what you are saying is not true for all GLOs.

How can you "assure her" when you're a ZTA who knows ZTA information? You seem so confident to speak on behalf of the rest of the 24.

All she said was that what adpi posted was not true for all 26. All it takes is one that is different, presumably ZTA, for that to be the case.
oh noes. we don't agree anymore.

No, I am speaking about ZTA. She is speaking of all GLO's.. and I can say that what she is saying is not all true of ZTA.

Thanks for the clarification. It really did seem like you were speaking for the other 24 in your post.

No problem. I'm sorry I didn't make myself clearer.

Finally something we can agree on, GDIfly!

Many GCers went through recruitment without the aid of alumnae and recs. But then again, someone once told me that AI and Recruitment are not the same. What you just said pretty much nullifies BA's attempt to compare the two.

Recs for Recruitment are easily and readily available for download on the website. Funny how it's not the same for AI. Oh wait...it's because AI and recruitment aren't the same. Well, whaddya know?!

I would encourage you to do a little research on the websites because yup, they are online for some of the sororities.

I wasn't speaking for the other sororities. Just my own.

It'd be too much of a BURDEN to go through all the websites.

I don't need to do research on AI. I'm not the one seeking it.

[texas*princess]

What a burden this thread has become.

OTW, I don't even know which sorority you are a ALLEGEDLY a member of. At least you have given them the courtesy to remove their letters from your signature.

I think you've been eating too much Spam.

[Drolefille]

Saying that someone is "allegedly" a member of their sorority could be applied to anyone on here. Just because some people put letters in their signatures or user names doesn't mean anything.

But you're probably right, we're probably all a bunch of know-nothing GDI's.
