Question Monitoring Online Content

Hey everyone! I posted a thread about this somewhere else, but haven't gotten any responses. Do any of you have rules or regulations about what is posted by members online (such as Facebook, Myspace, etc.) that reflects badly on the chapter?

We've had a big problem, especially recently, with girls posting very inappropriate pictures on Facebook, so exec is looking into nipping the problem in the bud by creating set rules about certain things that can't be posted (most notably drinking in letters and underage drinking, but also several other problems.)

This is by no means saying members will be censored and not allowed to express their opinions, it's just making sure the rules of nationals and our chapter are followed.

Anyone who has seen this set up by either their chapter or Panhellenic, know of something like this that has happened on another campus, or even just have ideas to share would be GREATLY appreciated!!

I've heard rumors of chapters getting in trouble or shut down because of pictures on Facebook, but I don't know if any of it is true.

I think the personnel chair should be the person monitoring the websites,because she is the person best equipt with the knowledge of the rules. The P-Board is also the place to go should any violations of the chi omega rules be posted online.

It's really hard to make a complete list, but things should be taken on a case by case basis. Also, frequently remind the girls not to post anything they wouldn't want their parents/employers to see.

It's also important to keep in mind that you cant post everything just because your page is "friends only". Someone who is your friend today might not be your friend tomorrow.

Good luck!

Hello Sisters!

I'm a former Personnel Chair, myself!

AZXO, I'm guessing you're new to you position -- First of all, congratulations. My best advice is to contact your Regional Director at the HQ. She is super nice & will be very helpful with questions and advice.

Personnel issues need to be kept confidential. Discussing BOR policies & procedures online is not appropriate.

When I was active we had policies on it. The president and personnel chair would go through everyone's pictures. The chapter had a certain amount of time to clean up their pages and then reprocussions (spelling?) of what the two found would happen after that date.

This is important for recruitment. PNMs look around at myspace, facebook, etc... it holds a lot of weigh.

I know during recruitment Panhellenic asks everyone to make your facebook/myspace private...and the chapter is fined if not everyone is.
