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 :)
