Making Your Facebook Sorority Ready

 Here comes the DOs and DONTs of Facebook... 

Your PHOTOS:

NO ALCOHOL. Bottles that is...You will come off as a crazy party girl, and no sorority will want to deal with that. Solo cups are indeed for the classy ladies and totally Facebook appropriate.

NO TONGUES. If you have a single photo with your tongue sticking out of your mouth. Put it back in. Its not cute, and not cool, and not funny.

NO MAKING OUT. Pictures of you and your boyfriend making out and humping each other all over Facebook does not make you seem more desirable, and does not make you look more in love with your boyfriend. Kisses on the cheek are precious, and so are hugging photos, but lip-to-lip contact needs to stay entirely offline.

NO BODY SHOT SELFIES. Some selfies come out cute, but even those are pushing the line a bit. If you are sticking out your boobs or not wearing shorts big enough to cover both butt cheeks, not only are sorority girls judging you but the whole world is judging you. You're not hot, you're a slut which is exactly what the guys commenting on that photo is thinking. The don't think "Damn you're sexy" which is probably what they wrote on your Facebook, they think "damn, I can't wait until I meet this girl, because it's going to be so easy to get into her pants. 

Your STATUS:

NO SARCASM. I know people think they are funny to say "girl you so dumb" to your best friend who made a stupid mistake. But no one online knows that you're joking and will take it initially as rude and insulting. 

NO RELIGION AND POLITICS. Just don't. You alone are not going to start a movement on Facebook or Twitter so don't post your opinions. Also, lots of Bible verses are great and all, but you'll immediately be matched during recruitment to someone who is probably in charge of their own Bible study. So you can decide if you actually want to talk about that the entire time. 

NO BITCH FIGHTS. Don't try to call out your enemies for being the pain in the ass that he or she might be. You look a) psycho or b) very childish, and once again that's not a good first impression on you.

WHAT LOOKS GREAT:

PHOTOS WITH FRIENDS: You're at the beach? photo op! you're at a party hanging with your best friends? photo op! You're doing anything with friends? Take a damn picture. You want to show how social you are, and how you're easy to get along with, and love to have fun.

FUNNY POSTS: Videos, imgurs, tumblrs all the above that will make us laugh. Show some personality.

CRAFTY: Find something that is cute, girly, yummy, or anything that is freaking adorable.

This isn't about being a superficial snob, or being judged for being yourself. 

Making your Facebook look sorority appropriate is about getting past the first round of recruitment without everyone trying to kick you out of their list solely based on something they saw on your Facebook that you don't get the chance to explain who you are as a person. Think they talk to possibly over a 1,000 girls in one or two days and conversations only last 5 minutes with each person. How else are they supposed to lower their list by 200 girls with a five minute convo?
