Do sororities really look at your Facebook page during rush?

There's truth to it, though.

You are assuming a lot here, as well as pretending to be psychic.

I'd also like to throw out there that this social media checking goes both ways. Polly PNM might be trying to check out Jane XYZ's info on FB to find out more about her group. If you're puking into a trash can in your bra & panties...it can be seen as representative of your group.

I know many groups have a social media monitor, but it's always good to be mindful of representing your own group.

In the legal industry, if Googling your name leads to tweets about getting wasted and the aforementioned image of you puking in a trash can, you will not get hired. We don't care what you do on your own time; we care that you put it on Twitter with your real name. Lawyers are entrusted with billion-dollar secrets. They advise clients about what to reveal and what to hide. We're looking for people who understand how to make good choices about what's fit for public consumption. If I were hiring file clerks for a construction company, I probably wouldn't care about one's sense of discretion, but legal jobs are another story.

I don't believe that's equivalent to discriminating against political minorities, nor a smokescreen for the same. Donating money to a widely disliked candidate (whether Bachmann or Sharpton) won't raise an eyebrow in our industry.

Exactly.

Similarly, as I always tell people, I don't care what you're thinking. Once you share your thoughts with me, and they translate into action, you are welcoming a reaction.

Examples of what I pulled from FB in about 10 minutes:

On my way to my job interview at Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority house^_^ #thinkingpostive

· Thinking about joining a sorority...Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, or Pi Beta Phi...omg and Dev might perform at our block party!!!!

Pledging kappa delta.

· Does anyone need a recommendation for Kappa Kappa Gamma? This is you last chance! Call/text me ASAP! (most likely an alum)
·
I fell in love with Kappa Delta Sorority</SPAN></SPAN>
Obviously from a housekeeper:
· One house down, now off to WSU to start my new job at Kappa Kappa Gamma. I hope the girls are a little cleaner than the ones I have had before :-)

At least she was polite enough to not mention the name of the first house.

My advice, coming from a recruitment chair advisor, if you're a PNM, have a close-up head-shot of yourself as your profile pic, and set the rest to private. Make sure you're searchable also. Because the school I advised at didn't provide photos of PNMs, we looked up the girls on FB to put faces with names to help jog the girls' memories. Some photos had other people in them or were too far away or too abstract and weren't helpful. If you want to have more visible than your pic and your name, make sure it's professional. Same goes for sisters, as they will get searched by PNMs.
