8. Promoting Sorority Events Chapters and regions may promote public Delta programs on social media sites provided that the president of the chapter or director of the region has approved such. All information on the chapter social media account must be reviewed and approved by the chapter president. –Create a social media plan for chapter events –Develop a whitelist of other social media pages whose content can be shared on the fly

9. Promoting Sorority Events May individual sorors share an event created by a chapter or region on Facebook? –Yes, you may share content posted via a chapter’s/region’s Facebook page and/or re- tweet content tweeted by a chapter/region. Use the ‘Share’ link on Facebook so that the origin of the information is clear.

10. Promoting Sorority Events Only National Officers or staff at National Headquarters may advertise national events (such as National Conventions or Delta Days at the Nation’s Capital). –Facebook pages promoting national events might appear official, but may not be authorized. When in doubt, ask. National events - techcommittee@deltasigmatheta.org techcommittee@deltasigmatheta.org Regional events - technology@dstsouthernregion.com technology@dstsouthernregion.com

11. Promoting Sorority Events Is it okay to change your profile picture to an event flyer? –Yes, if the chapter president/regional director has has approved this as part of a coordinated marketing effort. –Does this apply to a national event? No. It’s unlikely that individual sorors will be asked by the National President to make such a change. However, if she does ask, please comply.

12. Tagging Photos of Adults Before tagging or identifying adults in photographs or videos, seek approval of the person to be tagged or identified. It is a good idea to change your personal Facebook settings to allow you to review tags before they appear on your timeline (via http://www.facebook.com/settings)http://www.facebook.com/settings

13. Using Photographs/Video of Youth Chapters must obtain authorization from parents to photograph and/or record youth and to use the photograph and/or video for chapter-related activities, including posting on a social media site that discusses chapter activities. Parental authorization should be very explicit. –Consent to post photos to the “chapter website” does not automatically grant consent to post to “social media” Consult the Risk Management Manual, Regional Risk Management Committee or the National Program Planning & Development Committee for further guidance on using photographs and/or video of youth.

14. Identifying Youth in Photos Youth should not be tagged or identified in photos on chapter websites or social media –This includes identifying information such as the youth’s name, school, church, and/or town of residence –See APPENDIX 23 of the Risk Management Manual
