Beta Eta Blogger Spotlight

We love it when we come across fellow Beta Eta bloggers. We try our best to keep up with Beta Eta bloggers by adding their links to our site. We even work to try to distinguish between alumna bloggers who blog for fun, and those who blog about their life, family, etc... Thus readers are able to join us in following blogs, and alumnae can look for sisters to catch up with..

Today we came across recent alumna, and blogger Alexa

Social media: What do your accounts say about you?

Great Article below, originally posted by, Alpha Chi Omega Alumna, Audra Meyer on her blog. The article sheds light on the aspects of social media, and what you can do to ensure that social media sites portray your best image.

A Twitter friend, Lauren Gray, recommended Socioclean.com about a month ago. (If you’re not following her, you should be! She always suggests awesome articles!) I just had a chance to use it and was a bit surprised by the results.

According to this article on the Huffington Post, “SocioClean lets you scan all your different online social networks and then delete the offending items. Taking into consideration the landscape of a universe where it’s all too easy to broadcast the dirty minutia of your real life online, SocioClean helps you monitor and maintain your Internet presence.”

Here, I thought I had a fairly sterile Facebook profile. Turns out, I received a D! Most of that was from other people’s posts on my wall, but a few of my posts came up under the various categories, “Racial, Alcohol/Drugs, Sexual (butt does count), Aggression and Profanity.” I used the word pissed a few times and it took all the tennis posts that mentioned ball and misconstrued it. As for friends mentioning wine and beer, I’ll admit I have a few status posts mentioned the Wine Cellar and Bistro or the Hermann Wine and Chocolate trail (two automatic hits).

In all 14 wall posts made the list, one group, 9 photos (the comments on the photos, not the actual photo), 24 status posts (including two about heat stroke and one about strep throat). If that gives you a D, I’m curious about what the average score is and how other people fair. I also hope the search filter will eventually be expanded to go before 2009.

I was surprised at the nostalgia this search brought up and pleased with how easy it was to click on the offending status posts and either delete them or untag myself from the photos.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for a job or have to use your personal Facebook profile to manage company pages, it wouldn’t hurt to run this search just to see what’s out there.

Alumna Stoplight- Kat

Kat is a 2006 initiate of the Beta Eta chapter, and 2010 graduate from Florida State University. She is currently attending University of Miami Law School, and will graduate 2013.

Join Kat as she blogs about fashion, fun & the life of a law student at Law Abiding Fashionista.

In her own words:

"I'm just a 23 year old trying to enjoy life while looking fabulous. I'm originally from the beautiful city of Fort Lauderdale. I attended Florida State University to major in Partying, but my degree said Political Science and Psychology. Since I was in Tallahassee, I decided to keep it classy and join the lovely sorority of Alpha Chi Omega. I got to serve them as Recruitment Chair because of my fine abilities: to coordinate napkins, pose in front of doors, walk down stairs in my heels but still smiling, and make you NEED to be an Alpha Chi Omega. I then came to Miami to pursue my delusional dreams of a legal career at the University of Miami Law School. Miami is an amazing city; it reminds me to exercise, tan, and shop... oh yeah and that thing called school as well. I can't tell you why I wanted to be a lawyer except that I have a fetish for the lavish fashion of women's business clothes, and what a way to start then becoming a lawyer. I want to open my own boutique one day, not sure when. You could say my current activities are “technically” a law student, student loan budget fashionista, weekend pre-party DJ Gato, a carb fearing twenty something, and a full time DREAMER."
