I can imagine a campus where total is in the 80s or more, and you have all (or most) of your sisters as friends, and only a handful of girls from other sororities on your friends list. I think I only have 3 or 4 of them on my list. Just the onesI am actually friends with - I'm not a friends number booster kinda person. Hah.

If there are only 21 girls in both sororities at your school, I'm assuming it would be pretty easy to figure out who the rho chi/rho gam/gamma chi/whatever the new PC for it term now is for your sorority.

that sorority should have suffered some major fines for that and the pre rush party.

sorry it took me so long to respond! yes i agree! however, this semester which is formal recruitment, panhell decided that facebook recruitment groups could be allowed! However, they had to be shutdown after round robin (which was last night). I still feel tho that facebook is the ultimate dirty rushing tool and there's not much we can do about it.

Concerning rho chis, I kno that the rho chis from my sorority defriended all their sisters, took anything sorority related out of their profiles, and the rest of the chapter was told to make our profiles private or take all pics down of rho chis. A huge pain in the arse.

At my school its required that all women in sororities make their facebook profiles private. We don't want PNM's making judgements based on information they find because it may not reflect the whole chapter. We are not allowed to accept any friend requests until recruitment is over. PNM's should make their profiles private too. I know individuals that have used facebook to judge PNMs. I would advise PNM's to put up a pretty picture and make it private! The same goes with myspace.
