Is roll call a good idea?

I was posting this as a response in the Tippiechick thread, but then it disappeared.

I am not blaming the victim; I don't think it's Tippiechick's fault at all.

It just might be a weakness of GreekChat that we could correct since we now know that sometimes members of your group might use the info to make you uncomfortable or do actual harm.

I know that in my GLO's forum the suggested info is, I think, first name, chapter, and favorite memory, or something like that. Depending on your database, first name and chapter might be enough for someone to find your real life info.

And, if in another thread, you mention that you were at school in around such and such a time or you mention anything that can give away your age, it makes it even easier.

I wouldn't think that it would be normal for someone to go around collecting your data to "out" your personal information in real life, but it seems to be what happened here.

Maybe we should encourage people to protect themselves better under the circumstances.
