I was on Facebook earlier today, and I noticed that one of my friends joined a group called "I want to join ABC" for a particular chapter at her school. To me, this seems weird. I know that my chapter has had Facebook groups before, but it is for general information about the sorority... almost serving the same purpose that an independent website would.

We also don't have strict silence, or anything of that nature, so having potential members join these groups has never been an issue. I know that on the campus that my friend is at, they do have pre-recruitment silence and they are required to set their Facebook profiles to private during that time.

I also understand that they have formal recruitment in the fall. As has been said here many times before, recruitment is a mutual selection process. Is making a Facebook group that specifically says "I want to join ABC" a little misleading?
