AlphaFrog, stop being sanctimonious.

I will admit to Facebooking girls signed up for Recruitment as their applications became available in ICS. And I think y'all are giving way too much emphasis on "bad" stuff. The majority of profiles I viewed were helpful- they filled in some information that I wouldn't have been able to get from their recruitment application. I used it to see if they already knew anyone that I knew (small school), like a fraternity guy, so that if I saw that person later, I could ask about the PNM. It also helped me to put a face with a name BEFORE recruitment, so if we saw her around campus, we could make sure to smile very nicely.

I would certainly hope that each chapter uses appropriate discretion and balance when considering information that they gathered on Facebook. It's like when a fraternity guy tells you something about a girl that is negative... you have to evaluate the strength you'll place on that opinion as compared to the opinion you've developed of her during recruitment events.

So no, I don't think that freshmen girls should shy away from Facebook. Using a little common sense about what pictures and interests you put up is key, but I generally think Facebook can be positive.
