I was invited to become an AI nearly three years before I even knew Greek Chat existed. My paperwork hit a snag, and because of the AI forum, I was able to find a very kind and knowlegable person in my own GLO who was able to find out where the snag was, and got the ball rolling again. I never would have met her had it not been for this forum.

So yes, had I not met that person as a result of the AI forum, I would have given up.. and I would not be in my GLO.

The actual AI forum is only a year or so old (if that)...right?? Before that everything went into "Alum Involvment". As far as I know, you've been a ZTA for more then a year...therefore the AI Forum could not be the reason that you're in your GLO.

It was still an independent forum-- a subforum in the "Alumni Involvement" folder. I was here before it moved over to where it is today.. but it is the same forum.. just in a different location.

You mean, had it not been for GreekChat. (And you could've posted in the ZTA forum on GC if you'd had any questions.)

Please do not put words in my mouth.

No.. I said, and I meant.. if not for the AI FORUM.

Please re-read my prior post. It spells out specifically WHY the AI forum was a great help.

Usually one would be an indication for the other. No Greekchat would equal No AI Forum. Duh

And like I said, if the AI forum had not existed, you could've posted in the ZTA forum. Stop trying to bait everyone for an argument.

Now now, be nice. Logic is painful at this time in the morning.

Obviously logic is painful for others at all times throughout the day.

No need to get snarky. I have been civil to you.

If you had read my post rather than skimming it.. you would find that I was searching AI on google and found the AI forum. I didn't even know Greek Chat existed.

Even IF I had known GC existed... why would I post in a ZTA forum when my own alumnae chapter couldn't figure out where the snag was? Remember.. AI is extremely rare in my GLO. None of them knew anyone who had been AI'd, and none of them knew the process.

So keep grilling if you like, but the fact is, it was the AI forum that helped me. You can't change history.

Now, I must get ready to go to work, so I will leave it to you all to "soldier on."

_Lisa_ · #**834** 10-17-2006, 10:46 AM

You're talking in circles, if you found the AI forum you found GC. They are not separate entities.

Anyway, I'm not trying to change your history, I'm making the point that had the AI forum not existed you could have found help in the ZTA forum on GC. The same ZTA who helped you in the AI forum would also be available in the ZTA forum on GC. And it could work this way in the future-PNAM's for any particular GLO would post in the specific GLO's forum.

I wasn't directing that comment to anyone but OTW.

Drolefille · #**837** 10-17-2006, 11:01 AM

Doesn't matter. If you're questioning one person's letters, you should question all of them. Just because some people don't display them doesn't mean that they aren't Greek.

Once you open that can of worms, you might as well not listen to anyone. But it seems like you're already exhibiting selective hearing anyway - and wanting to keep it that way by way of having "Anti-AI" people not post here.

Well, if you want to get technical about it, I'll tell you why the ALLEGEDLY comment was directed toward OTW.

A little bird on the board said whether or not she was STILL a member of her sorority is of serious speculation. I don't think we need to post anymore regarding that, but since you insisted on knowing, I am happy to oblige your curiosity.

Drolefille · #**839** 10-17-2006, 11:22 AM

A little bird, huh? You've pretty much confirmed your identity in my eyes. Too bad. Even if, and this is purely hypothetical, OTW was no longer a member of her sorority she would still know more about sorority policies, her sorority's AI procedures and details of the AI subforum than you.

I insisted on knowing nothing, you just wanted to smear her.

I'd be interested to know how a new GC member, non-greek would have so many inside resources... hmmm.. too bad they let banned members re-register.
And check your sources next time.

If my AI paperwork/process had been stalled for three years and nobody could figure out or tell me what the deal was, I would've figured that my initiation wasn't terribly important to the organization or there was a reason why nothing was happening. I don't like the idea of GC being used in this situation, at all, and I don't think it's appropriate.
