This doesn't even touch putting pics on the internet - this concept is just so beyond me I can't even wrap my brain around it. I understand that cameras are different and it's the easiest way to share photos, but I certainly don't want Harry Baals from Pigsknuckle Arkansas looking at pictures of me at a toga mixer, even if it's completely innocuous. My pictures and memories of my good times are for my friends and I, not the world. Honestly, download the pics onto your PRIVATE computer and send a PRIVATE email.

Exactly. I just got tired of people blowing things out of proportion so I stopped answering.
We did have professional photographers at date parties and some TGs. BUT, the chapter president typically edited the cut sheet before anyone else got to it. In other words, any pictures that "displayed poor character" were deleted. Personal photos were with 35mm cameras, which few people had (I did). Today, everyone has a digital camera, so everyone has a gazillion pictures.
We also did a lot to cover up the lasp of judgment that our sisters made (like running in the back door of a fraternity house the next morning with a change of clothes for someone who decided to spend the night with someone not her BF). Drunken pictures still reside in my personal scrapbook. Unless someone breaks into my house and can find it burried in the basement, the picts will not hit the web.
And, for the person who insulted my niece, she in no way hangs around shady characters. She is just not blind to what is around her. If you don't like what she tells me, don't read it.
