At Purdue, the actives have to deactivate their facebook accounts the day that accepted freshmen receive their purdue email addresses. It is harsh, but it keeps the freshmen from looking up sisters and chapters having to police pictures, etc. Then when recruitment is over, the actives can reactivate their account, and they still have all their info, friends, etc.
At my school, we were just all instructed to make our profiles private from the start of school until after bid night. It solved the problem pretty quickly.

Thanks everyone. I will bring these suggestions to the table. Personally, I am not on Facebook so I don't know much about setting profiles to private and such. I appreciate everybody's input. Thank you
It might be too late to make a suggestion, but I figured I might as well.
What we do on our campus is everyone keeps their profiles on private and then during the week of recruitment all sorority women de-activate their accounts. Its even written into recruitment rules, so if you don't deactivate that week your chapter could potentially get into trouble. Since PNM's are more likely to get on facebook after thier rush night is over and look up the girls they met that night, it works out well.
