aoii is now local chapter, delta sigma

You can stop being discourteous toward one another 'liz' and 'alex, especially if you are actually ONE person arguing on this page with herself.

If either 'liz' or 'alex' were a true Cal Greek woman, she/they would already understand the current AOII situation as it concerns Cal panhellenic.

The public, in general, are not entitled to completely know the situation between Cal's panhellenic and its individual members.

So please refrain, 'liz' and 'alex', from commenting upon a situation where you do not belong and which you do not need to understand.

To 'With Age Comes Wisdom', I am not sure in your case that this is true and I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to say? I am part of the system and I am baffled by continued lack of leadership from Panhel on the AOPi situation. Where in our bylaws does it state that we can have a non-national panhel member as a member of our panhel or that any member of such organization can hold office?

Liz: Enjoy your month of school vacation, and make your plan to contact Cal's panhellenic advisor and/or panhellenic president when classes resume January 10th. In the meantime, the current bylaws of the Cal panhellenic (amended in September 2016 and approved in October 2016) are available online for your perusal.

Liz, the correct definition of thought police is thought suppressors.

I responded to your post by guiding you toward Cal's Greek Advisor and Panhellenic President as well as Cal's publicly available, online panhellenic bylaws. Those persons and places would be the logical choice for you to begin to answer your important questions.

If you contacted those persons and read-through those ideas prior to posting here, I did not know it because I don't read minds.

But if I did, I would say Alpha Gamma Delta strongly desires to be the next sorority invited to Cal. Just a thought.

To 'with age comes no/limited wisdom'. I stand by the thought police statement made previously and as used by Orwell. Given the tone and substance of your comments its seems like you might be well versed in the work of Orwell as you seem to be a member of the Cal Greek thought police. Why are you lurking here and simply judging? Not sure people are posting here for judgement but rather to seek information and possibly vent. If you don't see the parallels in our greek life and Orwell, I'm not sure what to tell you. If you truly have wisdom to share then by all means share. But we don't need or want unsolicited judgement. Why you seem to be compelled to be an apologist for an antiquated dysfunctional system that shows no signs of moving with the times is simply beyond me.

Please contact and plan a campus visit(s) from the National Panhellenic Conference Area Advisor and/or National Panhellenic Conference Consulting Team within the next year. They are always ready, willing and able to somehow assist and improve any campus panhellenic should they (or you as a panhellenic member) be willing to ask.

Liz, I am sorry if your first post and alex's subsequent posts on this page were not posts originating from only one person. As I read it 'liz' and especially multiple 'alex's appeared to cross-post as if in real conversation using the same poster name and oddly similar language. The use of childish and rude language by 'alex' led me to believe he/she was not enrolled at Cal, thus my original post suggesting 'alex' and/or 'liz' stop the rude comments and stay out of a situation where they did not belong.

Then you, liz, continued asking thoughtfully for information and several posters provided information by mentioning 1) aopis are no longer on the board; 2) the NPC and Cal's panhellenic and its advisor should be notified of your concerns.

Just because you did not agree with our given information or had previously contacted those persons unbeknownst to us doesn't mean we are thought police. We aren't demanding you agree with us and it's possible your interactions with those we led you to have been unsuccessful.

Sometimes a poster on this board will not foster further commentary because they have successfully answered someone's inquiry. From reading your posts, my given information led you to be further frustrated in your endeavors to move Cal's panhellenic up to your standards. You state you get grief from talking about Cal's problems here and anyplace else. Would that include within your own sorority home?

Yes. The Sigma chapter alumni own the house, not AOII Internationals, so there would be no reason for the chapter to lose it. Girls are still living there and using the house.

Delta Sigma is the successor group to AOPi...non affiliated organization presently residing in the old AOPi house. Everyone is trying to figure out how this group will function within the existing panhel structure given that they can't be a member of panhel as they are not affiliated with a national organization. So, I don't believe (unless corrected otherwise) that they can participate in fall recruitment. My guess is they do some kind of parallel recruitment effort or ongoing COB. I don't have any inside insight at all and just know a few people in the group. My bet is that this entire non affiliated effort is a work in progress given the situation they have had to deal with since the fall.

^^ This is the key.

to @c If this is being posted by the alleged AOII woman who posted and was banned earlier today on greekchat, be advised this is NOT up-to-date news regarding the situation at the (now former) AOII chapter at Berkeley. May we inquire as to your purpose in making this post?

Is that email a real leak or is it fake news?

I don't think this was fake news at the time. I think if you go to the AOPi national webpage and look at press releases that something like this announcement is part of the public domain.
