I need to chime in again on this part (it's from another NPC, not ZTA):
Individuals may not approach the chapters or associations and request that they be proposed for membership. This puts the chapter or association in the awkward position of having to refuse someone if they do not wish to sponsor them.
Now, I am not advocating that a sorority extend the priviledge of membership to anyone and everyone who approaches them...not at all.. If someone is unsuitable for membership, the sorority should of course, decline them
I guess what I take exception to, is the unwillingness at all to meet someone who does not a prior connection, and give them half a chance to at least show what they are all about? I know that you cannot always tell what someone will be like in person from an email. I think it is worthwhile to at least hear them out and then allow them to meet the membership in person.
From there on, let's say you met someone in person and you felt that they were not suitable for membership.
To me, part of being an adult is having the skill to "say no" to someone and do so diplomatically. If someone cannot say "no", then it's their problem, not the prospective alumna initiate's.
Thoughts, anyone?
