So Yeah..
 

We did have the event last night, and I don't know if FB really helped or not, especially since we also had flyers.

But what it helped do was put a faces to the organization. That is a good advertisement.

OTW, I do realize the risk of representing an organization while members have profiles on the FB. it may hurt the org in the long run. Or if you are a small organization, it might also help your effort as well.

If anyone else had experiences with FB, please do post.

Re: sidenote
 

I may live in Hawaii, but I love the South. I really do. I fall in love with it everytime I have the opportunity to visit! Consider it a collective moderator effort, though.

Regarding FaceBook, I may have sounded like it's a really really bad thing, but in the end I'm just a big FaceBook addict just like many of you here!

But yay for being an alum and having more leniency!

facebook affiliations
 

It might be a pain, but Rho Chis, once selected, can definitely "clean" all mentions of clues to their affiliation off their profiles without deactivating their account.

Under 'My Privacy Preferences' you can filter:

• Who can see my Profile and Contact Info?
• Who can see my Personal Info?
• Who can see what Courses I am taking?
• Who can see who my Friends are?

You can also allow only those who you want to see:
* Where I last logged in from
* My last away message
* My Wall
* That I'm a groupie in groups which I know many of the members
* My Wirehog photo gallery

Within your group memberships, you can restrict it so that only other members can see that you belong to the group.

This works b/c there are some people where you can click on their profile and you see nothing, and if you are scrolling through a group's members and you are not a member of the group, the person is skipped althought they are still counted in the group's membership.
