Hmm, I kinda find it interesting however that PNMs are being told that joining those groups on facebook could potentially hurt your chances in recruitment when there are TONS of members already in houses that are in groups like that! Kind of a double standard that it's not okay for PNMs but it's okay for members.
Does anybody get what I'm saying? Haha, I feel like I'm not explaining it well...

But members have also been warned (and in some cases, punished) for the groups that they've joined on the facebook, or pictures they've posted. I don't think it's a double standard at all.
Sandy -- many smaller schools have had offline facebooks for years, with pictures and information about all new students. The facebook.com has just taken it to a new, more personal level. I'm not sure what's inherently "a bad idea" about it -- like many things, it can be either good or bad. I'm sure that some PNMs may get looked up by the sororities of their choice and the sororities may find out information from the facebook that may make them want this girl more. I think that any form of information that can help sororities find out more information about how a girl presents herself and how she wants other people to see her can only be a good thing. It certainly makes more sense to me than asking alumnae from her area what her high school rep was -- and people have been doing that for years.
