Why do we tell PNMs to clean up their Facebook?

OK, that makes more sense.

I was reading it as "We can determine whether or not you will haze our new members / act a drunken mess / fail out of classes / whatever based on your SM profiles." Plus, I was tired when all of this was posted lol

People oversharing and not knowing to STFU has been going on a long time before Facebook.

As I've said before, when you live in a state and/or go to a school with more stringent alcohol regulations than most, you just naturally learn to keep things close to the vest, but I think nowadays they don't even get that any more. I'm sure a lot of this is because punishment from parents is not what it used to be. A sorority's national office disciplining a chapter is probably the first time some people have ever heard "hey, you screwed up."

Personally, I blame The Real World and the concept of the worse you behave, the more media attention you get.
