Sorority pledges tormented on Facebook

I don't believe FSU lists new members. Auburn and Alabama do. However, I would think if you have an open profile anyone, anywhere can find you and read that you just pledged XYZ sorority. So, it would take some serious Facebook stalking but it is totally doable. I guess this creep has lots of time to FB stalk!

I don't think it takes that much time at all. One new member with an open profile tags her pledge sisters in a bid day or party photo. One click on the tagged names and you are on another new member's page. And on and on. Requires virtually no detective skills whatsoever.

It's all in the tagging.

Agree that bottom line is profiles should be private. Also, if something seems fishy then go with your gut instinct because it probably is.

It's the personal details that are the creepiest, and that would take some time, but if profiles were private, the creeper would probably move on to an easier target.

I highly recommend anyone with a facebook use the ultimate privacy settings. If you search my name you'll only see my picture and an option to friend me. I don't even allow messages from those not on my friends list. Nothing on the internet is 100% safe, but if a burglar has a choice between the house with an alarm system and locked door or the house with no lock and no intruder alert, who is he going to pick?

I wonder what route this guy will go next once all the sorority girls have been warned?
