Is it weird to contact a sorority through Facebook?

Who is your friend? A member of the sorority? A member of another sorority? A roommate or close friend of a sister? Or someone with no connection to the group whatsoever?

If you're contacting them just because "your friend heard it" (esp if your friend means nothing to any of the sisters) you might end up making a social faux pas - i.e. the sorority wanted to keep their informal rushing on the down low and/or they already had in mind the 5 women they wanted to give bids to and/or they only had 5 spots open that have now been filled.

I honestly would ask the Greek life director if s/he knows if the sorority in question is able to bid any more members. If the GLD says that they are, EMAIL (don't facebook contact) the contact that the GLD has regarding recruitment.
