Exactly.

Similarly, as I always tell people, I don't care what you're thinking. Once you share your thoughts with me, and they translate into action, you are welcoming a reaction.

On this topic, things that I think it would be A-OK to share:

"Had a great time getting to meet all the NPC sororities!"

"Really excited about starting recruitment! Looking forward to meeting some amazing people!"

Etc., etc. We get caught up on what NOT to say, but if you're going to have your profile public or partially public, share something POSITIVE!

We tracked FB and Twitter postings during winter recruitment last year. Most were pretty funny or naive rather than obnoxious.

Examples of what I pulled from FB in about 10 minutes:

On my way to my job interview at Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority house^_^ #thinkingpostive

· Thinking about joining a sorority...Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, or Pi Beta Phi...omg and Dev might perform at our block party!!!!

Pledging kappa delta.

· Does anyone need a recommendation for Kappa Kappa Gamma? This is you last chance! Call/text me ASAP! (most likely an alum)
·
I fell in love with Kappa Delta Sorority</SPAN></SPAN>
Obviously from a housekeeper:
· One house down, now off to WSU to start my new job at Kappa Kappa Gamma. I hope the girls are a little cleaner than the ones I have had before :-)

Ex-Mr 33 has hardly lived a sin-free life - there's much evidence of it everywhere, on and offline - and he's never had trouble getting a job because it's what's in his portfolio that counts.

And mass LOLZ at the legal industry comment.

At any rate, this has NOTHING to do with the original question. No, you do not have to make your Facebook page public in the least if it wasn't that way before. The person giving that advice is sketchy.

At least she was polite enough to not mention the name of the first house.

There's truth to it, though.

You are assuming a lot here, as well as pretending to be psychic.

Yep and not just for the legal industry.

Point being, no matter the industry, if the RIGHT person gets access to information that they deem negative, there are potential negative outcomes.

When I rushed last year I purposely set my fb profile to super private. I was searchable, but all they could see was my profile picture. I made sure to have up a pretty profile pic, but I didn't want to be nervous about sorting through all my tagged photos. I don't think it held me back at all :)

My advice, coming from a recruitment chair advisor, if you're a PNM, have a close-up head-shot of yourself as your profile pic, and set the rest to private. Make sure you're searchable also. Because the school I advised at didn't provide photos of PNMs, we looked up the girls on FB to put faces with names to help jog the girls' memories. Some photos had other people in them or were too far away or too abstract and weren't helpful. If you want to have more visible than your pic and your name, make sure it's professional. Same goes for sisters, as they will get searched by PNMs.
