PNM's... please be VERY careful if you choose to register on Thefacebook before Recruitment.
As soon as a student is accepted at Clemson, he or she is given an email account through the university, so the student is eligible to subscribe to Thefacebook with his or her university email address. I'm sure that other universities have the same policy. With the popularity of Thefacebook increasing so much over the last year, high school graduates are making Facebook accounts prior to even arriving at the university. Many are even joining groups called "People who actually aren't at Clemson yet... No, you aren't the only one!" and "Class of 2009." Joining these groups makes a PNM very easily searchable. If a member of a GLO accesses the profile of a PNM and sees that her interests are "drinking tequila, staying out all night, etc etc" and has joined groups like "People Who Pre-game Everything," "M.I.L.F. in Training," and "I drink wine any day of the week and with anyone...biatch,"... or worse, I promise, the PNM will be remembered and probably not thought highly of during Recruitment.
GLOs want THE BEST new members possible... so in other words, don't post anything on Thefacebook that you would not tell one of the sisters or brothers of a GLO in person. Thefacebook is fun, and yes, I'm a member. But, if joining it means that you may possibly not get a bid because of something on your profile... it's not worth it at all.
Just be careful!
