Do sororities really look at your Facebook page during rush?

Some girls went through every single public album and looked at all the notes and videos and updates from way back in the day. They would even creep on the girl/boy's significant other! It's so insane!

We all creep on the XYZ University Class of 20- - page. DO NOT PUT YOUR RUSH PREFERENCES HERE! That is embarrassing and rude. Everyone can read it...

I'm dating myself here, but when I was in college, it was a few years before facebook first came out (I remember joining, it was www.thefacebook.com, and only college kids could join). Anyhow, my college already had an online database of every student's name, year, and student ID picture for us all to browse. The college also allowed it to have capabilities to search for, say, the Top 10 viewed out of all the girls or the guys. Which obviously became a big ass popularity contest. But I definitely remember creeping on that... so I can only imagine how it is now.

Am I the only one who misses when you had to have a college email to join FB? It was the ONE thing that separated FB from MySpace. I think FB got really big my junior year of college. Now, everyone can have a page. What's worse is when people give their 5-year-old a page and think that's acceptable. I miss the good 'ole days of FB.

AnotherKD, where did you go to school that they had a page like this? That does sound pretty weird and most likely like one big popularity contest. I see, in the spirit of things, how it could have been viewed as a good thing, though.

I agree with everyone on here. Discretion is key. Also, while we are on pictures and putting yourself in a good light--OP, please do us all a favor and don't have a bunch of pictures with Duck Face. Ugh! Also, if grammar isn't your strong point, please have someone look it over on your FB profile. You could be a beauty queen and sweet as pie but, if you have something like "Love of my life-YOUR my everything" then I lose (NOT loose) all respect for what you just wrote and have a hard time taking you seriously <--- just a tip.
