What's Fraternity-Sorority ID (FSID)?

[lake]

For those of you whose orgs use FSID (Fraternity-Sorority ID), can you tell me what you know about it? I guess it’s also known as the Center for Fraternal Excellence & ChapterSpot. When I click on the ‘About’ link it just redirects me to sign up with them.

I’m a little annoyed. For about the third or fourth time since I’ve been initiated I’ve been asked to “claim my account” at tridelta.org. And now it appears there’s a third-party (FSID) that will somehow be involved. I’m not sure I like that.

The older I get the more protective I am about my personal information. It seems like no matter what you’re doing these days EVERYONE requires you to “set up an account” and provide an email address, phone number, etc. And I’m just getting sick of it.

It’s getting to the point where if I need to update my address or any other sorority-related business I think I’ll just call Executive Office on the phone. Then I won’t have to deal with the latest “thing” and have this hassle every few years.
