Photos of ex-members on your website

Do you really have to remove them?

On our site there are no pictures including Recruitment Team because it is less distracting, but if we removed all of the pictures of girls who have quit over the years, we wouldn't have many left. Blurs are distracting. So unless it's a case of us not wanting to be associated with the particular girl, we include them in occasional pictures.

A few thoughts on this post:

1) I think it's good to have at least some pictures of your members. Your website is a PR tool, so potential members feel warm and fuzzy when they see pictures of girls having fun together/participating in sisterhood events/etc.

2) When a member quits, or gets terminated, I wouldn't want her strutting around wearing my letters because that associates her with our group... a group that she is no longer a part of. It's only fair to her to do the same and take her pictures (or crop her out) off a public website that would associate her with the group.

Well the situation came up with us. Basically a member de-pledged (for reasons we respected) so we removed all pictures with her in them from the website; with one exception -- the National Convention photo from 2007. Reason being is that the group shot was not huge, and there was no way we could crop or blur without it being very distracting. Once we get a replacement convention pic, we can blur her out of this current one.
