Is This Legal?

Yeah, it's weird how our perceptions have changed.

Most of us aren't bothered by traditional phone book listings. But when you are online with a "map it" function, it's get's really weird, really fast.

But really, a picture, a name, an address and phone numbers all in one place and open to anyone who will register: not such a good thing.

Wait a minute - let me get this straight - this is an UNDERGRAD doing this?

An undergrad who is an active member of a sorority?

And she's the ONLY one checking this?

Umm, this is kind of like having one person on Panhel be the one to decide who did and who didn't commit rush infractions and - wonder of wonders - her sorority didn't, and the sorority that's her chapter's biggest rival did.

Imagine having one person on the Supreme Court.

Either the sororities should be self-policing according to guidelines from their HQ or set by their chapter, or the Greek advisor should be spot checking, but there is NO WAY IN HELL (ooh, bad word) that one undergrad should have that kind of power over the entire sorority community on ANYTHING.

I would definitely make up a nickname for her, leak it to all the other sororities, and then create a group called "Dalina Terrina = Adolf Hitler" or something of the like. It would be funny to see if she would be stupid enough to join it herself without knowing what it was about.

i have my phone number on my profile, but i also have it super restricted as to who can see it. yay for a varied myriad of privacy features.

but while we're on the topic, my boyfriend sent me this video link about facebook that's a bit disturbing:

The additional information on that site (at the bottom of the video) was a little conspiracy theorist for my taste, but again, paying attention to what you are making public particularly in one location is REALLY important.

wow that little video thing makes me glad I don't have a facebook page...

I really don't understand why it's fashionable to have pictures of 3 of your sisters holding you up for a keg stand while you're wearing a torn up shirt posted online. As such, I have no such pictures available for public viewing and would hope that none of my sisters do either. The whole "no curse words in a group name rule" is a little far to me. Actually having anyone tell you what you can and cannot have posted for a select group of your friends (profile set as private) is a bit far to me. I understand WHY individual groups feel the need to regulate this, many members do NOT have their profiles private, and that is exactly who should be in charge of setting the rules. In this federalism case, I don't think Panhel should be the ones taking charge of this. They can make suggestions sure, but I think the monitoring should be up to the chapters. I know in Zeta's latest newsletter issue there's a HUGE article on what is not appropriate to have online (http://www.zetataualpha.org/content/.../winter07.pdf). Hot button issue. And, as someone above me mentioned, what's to keep one bitter girl (or a even few) on Panhel from completely targeting out another group she isn't particularly fond of? There should be guidelines, but you can't expect a couple of collegiates to create and enforce them equally.

P.S. Everyone come join my new facebook group "I love taking rips off of beer bongs in my letters while my butt is hanging out of my skirt and posting pictures of it all later, bitch."

Done and done. I created a sister group called 'keg stands in skirts, and I'm a sorostitute bitches!' because I just felt that facebook needed a touch of class.

EDIT: sorry for the double post.
