"IF." As in...has not occurred yet...is still shaking out. For all I know I'm completely wrong and membership numbers will go shooting into the stratosphere. Widespread national policies on Facebook etc are less than 5 years old. We don't know what effect they will have. I'm just saying that if they have the effect of membership going down or the quality of members going down, it would behoove chapters and national orgs to take a second look at them.
Stop comparing Greeks to sports teams, for the reasons fantASTic sited. Coaches told team members to not drink when they're in training even back in the day when 18 year old drinking was legal.
And for the record, there are some schools where appearing to be too goody-goody (online or in general) is more disadvantageous and can hurt your chapter's rep more than the reverse. That includes the "campus leaders."
I am AGREEING with you that it's stupid to post everything on the net and I don't know why people do it. I am not the Greek orgs' target market for new members, though.
