Cyberstalkers are using Facebook to harass sorority members, with incidents reported at four different universities this academic year.
assistant police chief at Florida State, said sorority members on his campus have received a friend request from an individual claiming to be affiliated with a particular sorority. The new “friend” will then request a video interview with the sorority member and inquire about a particular member’s interests—ranging from members seeking initiation to even active members looking for a leadership position. However, the friend will claim the camera is broken and insist on conducting a one-way video chat.
From there the contact escalated into harassment, Mr. Russell said, with Florida State students reporting that, in certain cases, the “friend” has asked them to reveal undergarments or disrobe entirely. In at least one case, Mr. Russell said, a girl received a threat from the “friend,” saying that her “girls could handle her” if she refused to comply with orders.By Paige Chapman
