Facebook has become a popular craze throughout the college community across the nation. However, when organizations are attempting to put out a good name for themselves, Facebook can be their worst enemy.
Sororities across the nation are trying to prevent their members from putting up explicit or revealing pictures on their Facebook page that promote sex, drugs, or alcohol. They have discovered this to be a rather hard task since the majority of the pictures were taken at a location not relating to the sorority and at a party or event on their spare time outside of sorority life.
National Pan-Hellenic Officials (the governing bored of all sororities) have decided that regardless of the fact that the pictures were not taken at a sorority event, the individual is still representing her organization regardless of where she is at the time of the picture.
Fraternities members also tend to post explicit pictures however, rules such as this do not apply to them. Perhaps it is due to the double standard that it is more socially acceptable or men to have revealing pictures as apposed to women. Whatever the case, sorority members across are going to have to make major changes to their Facebook pages.
