Holding a drink in a pic does not bother me at all, but every single one of her pics was of her chugging stuff like 151. She was also obnoxious in real life. She ended up pledging a sorority, coming to the house drunk during her NM period and attempting to break things.

Hahaha wooow... That's a classy broad.

I can't imagine a girl like that getting a bid from anyone at my school (well maybe except for one org), and my school isn't even that competitive.

I do think its very important that PNMs are very cautious with what they put on facebook. Many sororities on my campus do a lot of research as soon as they meet a PNM...get the list of names of women coming through recruitment...etc.

As the Recruitment Advisor for my chapter I am going to challenge them to really find out as much as possible about PNMs...not saying that a beer in hand is a bad thing...but people tend to create a facebook page that really describes them.

Western Carolina University does not have a competitive greek system. Political, Religious and other campus affiliations would certainly not have any bearing on releasing a woman from recruitment.

I do agree with the posts with PNMs stating interests as "Smoking Weed, Blacking Out, Not Going to Class" as red flags.

Underage students also must be very cautious if they have pictures of them drinking or partaking in illegal activity especially in dorms on campus as many of the Resident Directors and other higher ups on campus can use those pictures as evidence of underage drinking and have sanctioned students based on that...

In a nutshell...make sure that you make your pictures AND profile viewable to friends only...the privacy level for pictures is different than the profile... the end

Am I the only one who thinks that Facebook/Myspace are going to get to the point where everyone's being so careful with their profiles (and everything else on them) that they'll just vanish?

I mean, if everything is "private" it kind of defeats the purpose of networking.
