So I guess this means that the "older AIs" are fine then with AI being discussed?

Discussing was fine until people started blowing smoke up peoples asses and downplaying the experience to those of us who went about it the right way. Oh yeah I forgot you needed clarification about what the right way was! DISCRETELY!!! If you don't know what discretion means then you are likely burning bridges.

Have you ever heard of actions speaking louder than words? Maybe you should ponder that. Giving people hope that AI is easy and the answer to many of the PNAI's on this board is so not true. I don't care how many people on here are AI's, the fact is it is not a common occurance and to imply that it is is not fair to the PNAM's or the initiated members who are the ones dealing with the slack when they have to field the questions.

PMing more than one person asking for help is going about it the wrong way. Many people on here talk outside of the forums and it isn't to hard to figure out that Suzy PNAM PMd me, Smrtblnde, JILL1228, OTW and KDDani (pulling names out of my hat, not saying it really occured) asking for help. Especially since a lot of the time the PNAM's don't even do their research and figure out who is friendly with each other.

Now as to why the hostility? Simple. You give AI's a bad name. Every single thread on here you start acting like this big martyr, picking fights, instigating and generally acting like a prize female dog. I didn't have a problem with you until I realized that you were right in the thick of every single "discussion" on AI and are usually the one causing many of the problems. You are making a nice friendly big group of panhellanic sisters get hostile with each other and are generally giving greek life a bad name. If I was not initiated already and foudn this site I would see you causing so much trouble and think I was back in high school so why would I want to research any further.

I whole heartly agree. As to who is giving AIs a bad name, let's just say my EYES are too clogged at the moment...

Rule of Thumb: To stop a train wreck, you have to stop fueling it...then it'll eventually stop.

I generally agree, except with one small correction. I don't have any problems with the women who disagree with alumnae initiation as a concept. They're entitled to their opinions, and generally speaking, they've all been pretty respectful of it.

I think this big friendly group of panhellenic sisters are getting hostile with a megalomaniacal sociopath who is only interested in advancing her own agenda, and banging her own drum. If you don't agree with her, she takes it personally and then goes running to her "report this post" button. Let's not forget that this is the same poster who referred to the outcry against some of her posts as a lynching -- not just once, but several times , and when I pointed out how offensive it was to use that word in this context, she continued to do it. She's got more issues than a newsstand. It's quite sad, and rather than laughing at her, I think we should all start posting links to message boards and phone numbers for social agencies that support people with mental illnesses.

I'm fairly positive GP never sponsored anyone for AI.

And I also believe people can change their opinion on something -- that doesn't necessarily make them a hypocrite.

Not everyone should be held liable for the actions of one person. And it shows how weak the whole argument really is when you have to desperately cling to one example. (Which may or may not even be true?)

How true!

How true!

not to mention when the examples are up to four years old, taken out of context and misquoted.

Well you can't actually expect anyone to make their argument based on whole truths! You know your argument has gone to shit when you have to take things out of context just to get your point across.
