For example, a girl at my school in the new class fb group which is public posted that she was "420 friendly" and drinks and I'm sure that every chapter knows about it. NOT advisable to post things like that.

Also, be careful of what you're saying. I'm not sure it's a good idea to tweet every day about recruitment. In my opinion that comes off as a little desperate/crazy (sorry). Also I don't think it's a good idea to live-post during recruitment, just check your social media, but try not to post anything. That's what I think is best. And please please please don't post your opinions on twitter or facebook or anywhere, i.e. I loved ABC but thought DEF was the worst thing in the world, I ONLY want to be an ABC, etc. And please don't use social media to whine, i.e. "I can't believe LMN cut me, they must be crazy and have no idea what they're missing". There are plenty of times that a girl's recruitment is tanked by what she says online, and there has been a trend of girls posting what sororities they are willing to accept bids from. NO NO NO. It's not sorority shopping. If you really feel that you must post, I would say keep it general like "loving recruitment, can't wait to see how this week ends up"

I would put her on private. It is easy to interpret things differently.

Actives/alums: I find this odd to do, but we seem to continue hearing it. I wouldn't friend PNMs I don't know. FB stalk, sure maybe, but not friend.
