Chapter Facebook Guidelines
 

Has anyone been in a Chapter where you had a facebook/social media contract? What did it say if so, and how did you enforce it? Just curious, i always wanted to make one as president, never got around to it/figured out how. I wanted to get a copy of another Chapter's and use it, but it just fell through.

people telling this new username to fuckoff and go somewhere else in 3, 2, 1.....

??? Am I missing some history here? That seems harsh... even for GC.:confused:

I was an active back when dinosaurs (otherwise known as VAXstations) roamed the earth, the web was in its infancy, and Facebook didn't exist. Now I'm very active on Facebook and other social media outlets, and I run more than one web site.

My main guideline for myself is, if I wouldn't want my parents or a potential employer to see it, I don't post it. So, while I may post the occasional off-color joke or politically-charged comment here and there, I keep it to that. No pictures of me drunk off my gourd, etc.

If your nationals don't provide social media guidelines for your sisters, you might want to start with that - would you want your parents to see that picture or read that joke? If not, don't post it.

Edit: Taking the OP at her word here - serious answer.

Yes

We have a "tap" system. If a sister sees a photo or a status that is inappropriate, they comment "tap" and the sister takes it down. If she doesn't, she can be brought up to standards. Examples of taps: photos with alcohol displayed, overly sexy photos, negative statuses about sorority, status with a lot of curse words, ect...

thats an awesome idea!

This is a really good idea. Hmmm...

We have an account run by our Standards Council (under a fake name) that every member has to be friends with and give full profile viewing access to- if you see something inappropriate, you can report it to that account and they will ask her to take it down. They also do regular checks of everyone's recent posts and photos.

KD has one.

Our nationals also provides social media guidelines for us, and we have to sign promising we will follow them.

Our risk management chair would enforce them, sending women notifications that they had 48 hours to remove the offending images without further consequences.


We did something just like this, except you would just comment "Oh, this makes me blue". That was our code that it should come down before the RM chair noticed it.

KD's internet policy can be found here:

The ZTAs on my campus do this except they comment "CC" for "Crooked Crown." I know of another chapter here that also has a fake account like sweetmagnolia's:

I kind of feel like you trust people to not be dumb, but I suppose that's unrealistic. :rolleyes:

Between the two I would prefer the first because it means everyone is holding themselves accountable instead of someone on e-board being Big Brother and reprimanding you. I would assume people respond better to it.

Not to mention, all you'd have to do is hide that album from that "friend" and put all the inappropriate pics in there.

Nice language :)

You missed the point.

OMG! Call the GC Police! Are you really this dense or do you have Asperger Syndrome?

And I have much nicer language than that. Stick around for a while, assuming you aren't a sock puppet.

Are you fucking serious?

Wait...the person who is up in arms to the point of signature-mocking a child abuse joke is making a joke about mental impairment? Really?

Death by irony....

This is all my fault. I have failed you. Farewell, GC.

*jumping from a cadberry creme egg*

No irony there. I am dead serious and asking her a serious question about a medical condition that would explain things. It's not a joke at all. Quite different from some dullard making light of child abuse.

Bullshit, dumbass.

Not dense, and no I don't, but glad you aren't above using mental illness as a pejorative.

Believe what you want, you pathetic lonely cretin. I don't give a shit about anything someone like you might think.

So, people who make sarcastic comments about bad language have asperger's. I thought that was an autism-spectrum condition? What does it have to do with my post?

"Someone like you"

Right. Dumb bitch.

le sigh.

I can't wait for DF to get here...

Epic awareness rant in 3...2...1...

WHOA.

Not a rant from me, not even pearl clutching, but, rather, an "educational" request:

Autism Spectrum Disorders are (a) not a mental impairment (b) not a mental illness. Autism is a brain-based difference. I have been fortunate enough to treat people on the spectrum since God was a baby, so kinda know a little bit more than the average bear.

With the incidence of ASD being 1 in 110 or 1 in 150 (depending on who you cite), there are, in all likelihood, GC members or family members affected by ASD.

*runs off to scoop up the remains of the cadbury creme egg that DrPhil ruined. For shame!*

No sadness that I jumped in the first place? I tell ya. :(


So...yeah...the original topic isn't horrible--since facebook still has its minions. Organizations and chapters should (and many already do) have protocol and policies to handle Internet and "in person" matters.

I just find the OP to be interestingly disgruntled to be a newbie.

I was always neutral about Barbie's Rush and anything she typed because she's a sockpuppet or something like that. Right? LOL.

This thread gave me life. I am going to share it with my chapter and see what they think.

Instead of Chapter Facebook Guidelines, Chapter Social Networking Guidelines?

Pro-tip: Don't do this.

I'm a sock puppet

Are you now? :rolleyes:

Yes :p

Major sad here. And major disappointment. I expected way more from you. *phlounce*

everyone else is ignoring the obvious, which is that DrPhil is a chocolate hater.

"You know who loves to get fisted? ...

Sock puppets! Ahhh, that joke is aDORable!"
