Facebook. It's an epidemic.

Facebook has over 500 millions users.

I, along with virtually everyone at my college, are part of those 500 million users. It's a great way to connect with friends, family, and class mates. It's become a million times easier to throw parties, express your opinions, and share photos.

However, I am starting to hate facebook. It's been festering for a while now. But it's really become unbearable in the past weekend.

See, I had to turn my facebook wall off for recruitment. I'm the head Rho Gamma (recruitment guide) and I need to set an example and a standard for my Rho Gammas to follow. I made it so literally no one, with the exception of my family members, could see, write on, comment, or like anything on my wall.

Within hours I was getting emails and messages from members of my sorority complaining. I'm supposed to be disassociated. That's the whole reason I turned my wall off. I understand that these women aren't involved in recruitment as Rho Gammas, so they don't have to hide their things to the extent I do.

But it's unfair that people are giving me a hard time for following rules. Even worse? Some facebook friends have gone the passive aggressive route and turned their walls off to me, as if it was something personal I did to them. And, by using friend lists, have made sure I knew that it was turned off to me.

In short, I don't want to be a slave to Facebook any longer. I don't even want to log in anymore. So I might just clear everything out.

Have you joined the Facebook craze? Do you love it or hate it?
