Beware of Fake Facebook Support Notifications
Phishing is when someone tries to get access to your Facebook account by sending you a suspicious message or link that asks for your personal information. We are seeing an influx in these attempts that suggest that your chapter Facebook Page is pending deletion due to a Community Standards Violation or Intellectual Property Infringement. Please forward these emails to [email protected] and do not click links or attachments. We will investigate and determine if there is an actual account issue to be concerned about.
Learn how to identify and protect yourself from phishing on Facebook.

Chapter Success Story Pilot Launching on February 15, 2023
In FY23, we are looking for ways to evolve the Chapter Social Media Program and help your chapters have an even greater impact in your local online communities. One way we believe we can achieve this is through unique, localized success story content sourced from chapter websites and published individually on the coordinating chapter’s centrally managed social media channels. Before we consider a wide-scale implementation of this kind of content development, we need to make sure the process and data support that decision. That’s where the Success Story Pilot comes in!
