Grassroots Facebook standards

It's one thing to have an electronic contract for your members, or to educate them on why it's important (for SO many reasons) to keep Facebook profiles, pics and comments clean. But holding members accountable when they don't? That can get tricky. Check out this easy idea from the Zeta Xi chapter on how they use more of a grassroots, peer-accountability method to keep Alpha Chi's image spotless:

"Our members post the word "PEARL" under any pictures they see on Facebook that aren't representing Alpha Chi in a positive manner (PEARL = Presenting Every Action Representing a Lady). Every member has the responsibility to post PEARL whenever they see a sister using poor judgment on pictures/comments - this has really helped keep down our CRS cases. Of course if a member fails to remove something inappropriate after being PEARLed and if the VP-CRS sees it and feels it is inappropriate, the member will then be called into a CRS meeting."

You know I love ideas where we ask everyone to be their sister's keeper ... not just exec members!
