Fan Pages - best for external communication

Groups - best for internal communication

Our chapter has both a group and fan page.

Group page for Internal communication. (Only members need to know, outsiders don't need to be privy to internal conversations)


Fan page external communication for our fans.

Don't ever say anything the least bit private on a fan page.

I personally think all the Greek communication on FB should be under groups that you have to be approved to join. Too many people don't realize how open FB can be and say things that are completely inappropriate. If you want to know something about a national org or a chapter, go to their national or chapter website. "If it doesn't show...you don't need to know."

Also, people frequently use sorority fanpages for spamming or pyramid schemes. This is what killed the inCircle groups IMO. Now everyone's taken the communication they were using there to FB, not realizing everyone and their llama can read it.
