So?

irishpipes is most definitely not a stalker and I know she did not mean any harm to any of the NMs, but I think posting names and hometown on GreekChat is so controversial because of the privacy issues we've had here in the past.

Posting a link to the actual list itself is playing it safe.
And I can kind of understand that, but unless we're talking about matching to user names here, which IS stalkerish, I just don't think it's a big deal.

It isn't information that would be considered private at the campus where these girls pledged. That might be weird culturally someplace else, but we've got some websites that list everyone's name with a photo and a biography down here.

ETA: Okay, Auburn may not do the photos and bios thing, but take a look at Gamma Alpha.

The list is publicly available and linked in the thread earlier. If you all have problems with the info posted, is it really with the poster here?

I guess the poster should have been a little clear about, since it is posted on the UA board......

Thanks for sorting it Irishpipes. The list is posted on the college website.

The Oklahoma State Bid list is now posted via the Stillwater paper, but I am not sure how to link it. A PNM who found me online and asked for recruitment advice and whom I chatted with for a month pledged Zeta at OSU. They got a good one.

Thanks Irish for your help in making these public lists more user friendly.

(don't you have an oklahoma connection?)

The list is already available on the Auburn panhellenic site. It's just that that site isn't user friendly. Thanks for calling me a stalker though.

Has anyone seen the Alabama recruitment list? A ton of my girlfriends were rushing, and I am afraid to call them (encase that they did not get a bid) and obviously, if they have received a bid, they would be too busy with fun bid day parties to answer my calls! ha!

I agree that posting the link is preferred, but in this and the Auburn thread the complaint was that the Auburn site was sorted strangely.

And whoever asked - yes, I live in Oklahoma. You must be stalking me.

She may not be, but I am. I like the way you sort, IP.

It's me..... I confess! I was an undergrad at OSU! Thanks for all your help in organizing this info.

this should be a different thread, I know, but what about OU?! Recruitment began on Friday, and not one post about numbers, etc.....
