A few questions. Feel free to elaborate.

I'm just going to come straight out and ask:

Is there a reason you WOULDN'T want the recruitment chairs to Google your name?

I don't know how common that is, but is there something that's going to come up in a search that would make them NOT want to give you a bid?

I don't know because I don't know what makes them want or not want to give a bid.

I mean, I know NOTHING about any specific fraternity membership selection, but if it comes up that you're wanted for a murder or something...

I mean, are they going to look and think, "Okay, he has [this] many Facebook friends. He posted [this many] times on [that forum], so he must be [this]. From his profile picture, he seems [good/bad] looking. Conclusion: he's [cool / a loser]."

Oh yes I know I always vote against members who don't look cool on their facebook page, even if I've met them. Obviously we have the chapter's appearance on campus to consider.

Exactly.

And I can't tell you how many votes have been swayed based on how attractive the rushee is.

We're all hot. We just want ugly friends now.

This is why I <3 my fraternity. And myself.

Nobody can tell you what goes on during bid meetings. That is private information.

So there are such things as "bid meetings." Now we're getting somewhere.

I'm not sure I like the idea of people meeting in a room and discussing me. Akward.

That's craziness.

Next, you'll tell me that management teams talk to each other before making hiring decisions

A. Then perhaps you shouldn't rush. Or apply for a job. Or try to gain membership in any organization.

B. I find it really sad that you can't sound out the word "awkward."

This may sound harsh, but: Get over it.

People will be discussing you behind closed doors alot within your life.

Ex: The hiring manager at your job probably didn't pull your name out of a hat.

The admissions committee at your school didn't shoot darts at random names on a dartboard.

See where I'm going here?

So if the actives don't talk about if you're a good fit or not, how do you think they'll choose you?

Of course, because everything on the internet is the truth, right?
