No, I read it that day that I checked it out for the first time. I'm not sure what I could do about it. You would think enough people who have been on there (that may have been mentioned by name) would make a big enough issue about it.
In fact, some people have heard of the site through other sources such as Yahoo groups and what not. My school's newspaper did a story on it. So, now people are learning about this site. I'm wondering if there is something that can be done because although I have not been named on it (I already graduated so, I doubt anyone really cares much about what I'm doing) I still find it to be very offensive. That's just it, though. PNMs are coming on Greek Chat and saying that they already read through Juicycampus and now want advice from this site.
Whether you may think that I am trying to bring it to everyone's attention so they can blast each other or not (which, I'm really not doing it for that reason)...the fact is that other people are looking at this site for advice (which is scary). We all know how people who know very little about Greek Life (because they haven't joined a GLO yet) assume these sites are the Holy Grail. How many PNMs have talked about not wanting to join a house because their friends didn't care for the reputation? It may seem stupid-but, we seriously have to consider this.
I know NPHC and NPC GLOs operate different (as in how they do membership selection) but, wouldn't you be mortified if someone didn't want to join your GLO because of some stupid stuff they read? What's worse is that people keep talking about how they can't have racy photos on Facebook and Myspace because of future employers. What if these same employers (not saying I agree with this in anyway) choose to check out sites such as this and maybe believe what is said about certain people doing Coke, and other things?
If anyone has any advice on how to even get rid of the site-that would be great too...so, please feel free to contribute.
1.) Do you think the site will have an effect on PNMs or future employers?
2.) Do you think the site should be taken down or is it just another way for people to exercise their "Freedom of Speech" (because I'm sure many people will argue that)?
3.) When did you find out about sites such as this, Wiki, MySpace, Facebook, etc.? I'm just curious considering I found out about many of these sites (to include Greek Chat) not too long ago (about a year ago or so)....?
Thoughts...
