It's not stalking. It's Facebook.

These women go to your school and you have a public FB profile. They don't have to DO anything to get to that information. It's just there. lol.

I've heard the same thing from folks who get fired/reprimanded by an employer based on FB. It's always "my employer shouldn't be stalking me on FB."

Nope. Not stalking if you put it out there publicly.

Why don't people get this? Especially when they leave their profile information open to the public.

Not to mention, they'd better get used to it. Depending on the chapter/campus their sorority could be monitoring their facebook pages just like their future employers. Girls in my chapter were asked to remove pictures/posts deemed inappropriate pretty frequently.

I always kept my facebook pretty clean, but when my parents got facebook I very quickly made it PG. That was a wake up call.

It's been said over and over again, but it's fairly important: Even if your page is set to private, your fan pages/interests/groups may still be public. Also it's good to occasionally go through and check your privacy settings because sometimes they are changed.

Just imagine you apply for a job and your possible future employer sees that you don't get drunk, you get awesome. Perhaps you like going to work on Mondays hungover or there's a not-so-lovely photo of you in lingerie as your profile picture. That's not exactly the impression you want to give. . . Or maybe you do and that's fine, perhaps it will give your employer a chance to hire someone who s/he feels is more suitable. It may not be fair, but that's life.
