True it may be. Yet that's why I said that this is what is posted on their website. Its viewable to anyone that takes 10 secs to go there. I don't think that AKA is the type of sorority that would go around putting up false information on their website to falsely guide interested people. While yes these may be the minimum and it WILL vary from chapter to chapter, school to school, it's still what is there.

No one asked a particular person a question. If someone asked a question that is clearly printed on say a pamphlet I was holding or the bible or a hymn that I could point them to, then yes I would.

Which is why you won't be invited to the Vatican.

I think any person pursuing Greek membership (NPHC or otherwise) could benefit from learning to show some humility and realizing that they have something to learn.

^^^This^^^

I would also guess that many organizations (NPC, NPHC or otherwise) only publicly post general minimum membership requirements on their national/international web sites. A chapter's or university's requirements could be much more stringent. If you are not a member of a specific group, you have no idea what their membership selection criteria are.

CDancer, what everyone is trying to say is that you need to sit quietly and just observe. No one is saying you're incapable of answering questions. No one here in this thread thinks they're better because they're greek. The thing is that when it comes to information regarding greek life, it is best left to those that are members. If you have to say "ABCs/XYZs please feel free to chime in", then it's probably best for you to not even bother. Do you like for non-family members to speak about your family affairs and then be like "CDancer please feel free to chime in"? They can handle their own, and as a newbie to GC and as a non-greek, it just makes it seem like you're trying too hard.

...hence the name type almighty.

Just because you are greek does not mean you know EVERYTHING and are so much better than I am to answer a question that I can obviously find the answer to on my own.

But I do. Refrain from answering anything AKA related until you are a member and know more than me. Just because you're entitled to an opinion, doesn't mean you should share it. That is all.

We get it. Stop acting so familiar. No...really.

Quoting another AKA:
"The best of business
in this line of business
is to mind your business.
If you don't have any business
then make it your business
to leave AKA business ALONE."

Apparently you missed the memo that membership is a free for all.
