Internet Standards

[honeychile]

There has been a lot of discussion on various Greek-related boards concerning what's cool to post on the internet and what's not. I'd like to take the time to mention just a few:

1) Pictures are forever! Once you've let someone take a photo of you eating or drinking anything, you have lost control over the use of that photo. Think Paris Hilton. I could give you an example from my own chapter (nowhere near that bad, thank heavens!), if you care to PM me.

2) Pictures of ANY form of Ritual should never, ever be taken! Frankly, if you have to be told that, you should think twice about whether or not you're ready for sorority.

3) Pictures, part 3: Okay, say you've decided to ignore #1 & 2 and have taken pictures of ritual. Are you really SO COMPLETELY STUPID that you would put such a picture on your internet photo album? If you are, please drop out of college now. In fact, please drop out of the gene pool, because that's a special kind of stupid!

4) Drinking or smoking in letters - unattractive, no matter how you look at it. Pictures of it - even worse. Posting them - dumb!

5) When you flame someone, using profane language, YOU are going to be the one who looks like a bully or a foul-mouthed fishwife, not the one who said whatever deserved the abuse in the first place. Remember our Standards Code, and realize that, if you use such language in THIS Forum, it will be deleted. If you use it in another Forum, I will ask the appropriate Mod to delete it. If you think you can get away with it on another message board, think twice - there are sisters watching more websites than you realize! I cannot stress this enough!!!

Any questions? Please feel free to ask!
