Marquette University sorority members generated some news buzz recently after banning Facebook from rush so recruitment and pledging decisions can be based on face-to-face interaction.

At Purdue University, officers placed two fraternities and a sorority on probation in March after pictures of hazing activities were posted on Facebook.

When it comes to Facebook, sororities and fraternities at TCU have different ideas and attitudes about what can and cannot be posted on the popular social networking Web site.

College students should strive to build their network throughout their college careers, a recent university graduate told students Tuesday night.

Abe Issa, president and CEO of Abe Issa Real Estate, spoke as a part of Neeley Week, a week-long event that included speakers and fundraisers. Different clubs within the Neeley School of Business organized the events.

Issa said networking is important and that he had benefitted from it since graduating in May 2005.

"Build your network," he said. "That's one piece of advice I give everybody."

Athletes are often portrayed as academically inept. Television shows present viewers with the star quarterback who has astounding athletic skills and a 'C' average, which may actually be lower in reality. There are common speculations, such as student athletes don't attend their classes and teachers manipulate their grades throughout their athletic careers.

Recent developments have led some people to deem such stereotypes accurate.

Fraternities on campus might have an extra day to impress potential members during recruitment. On Thursday, the Interfraternity Council plans to vote on the addition of an extra day to the formal recruitment process, an IFC member said.

Grant Gossett, IFC vice president of recruitment, said IFC will add the extra day after the first day of recruitment when potential members visit all 10 chapters.

Gossett, a senior history major, said that this year IFC added an early signing option, which fraternities found very effective.

While concern about the H1N1 flu remains, vaccines for the disease are scarce but should be available on campus soon, a university official said.

Don Mills, vice chancellor for student affairs, said Texas has not received the vaccines the state requested.

"The state of Texas had originally asked for 8 million doses and right now they've been granted 142,000," Mills said. "Those are being allocated to people at risk and health care workers. We expect to get some vaccine towards the end of the month, but we don't know how much or exactly when."

The campus community is experiencing a heightened sense of caution after a recent series of sexual assaults involving female students.

Last Tuesday's assault involving a female student being threatened with a knife while walking on campus grounds was a tragic reminder of the times in which we live. Terrible things done by even more terrible people can happen to students -- even when they think they are in one of the safest places imaginable.

A team with more members than any football team that will play on the field at Amon Carter Stadium is present at every home football game, but most people would not give anyone on this squad a second look.

It is the group of security officials that roam the parking lots, locker rooms, press box and bleachers.

Campus police chief Steve McGee said 17 out of 24 of the university's police officers work every home game. With three more assigned to patrol campus, very few days off exist when the Horned Frogs play at home.
