Your Facebook Profile Photo…More Visible Than You Thought

The Digital Inspiration blog recently reported that Yahoo! is now integrating photos from facebook profiles into their image search results.

Scary? We agree! Google is also doing the same.  Just another reason to think twice before setting your default profile picture!  Last thing you’d want is your future boss to google your name and come up with an image of you doing a senior year keg stand at your graduation party :)

Fraternity & Sorority Long Portraits - Contest Open!

PhotoJojo recently featured a really interesting article about Long Portraits.
The idea behind these is to ask someone a simple question, like How was your day? or what’s the most exciting thing you did this week? etc. From that, record their 30-second response.

What a simple yet unique task! Now put the entire graduation or Greek spin to it and think about how your house historian can do this. Imagine how awesome this archive would be, in say 3 years… with every member of your house and it continually growing! Think down the road… 5 years from now, how even more awesome it would be!

We all know Greeks love pictures (and matching shirts…) but video adds such a unique new spin to your chapter’s records and an interesting way to get to know actives and alumni.

Fraternity & Sorority Long Portrait Challenge


The best thing Jacqueline saw this week from Photojojo on Vimeo.

So our challenge to any chapters is to do a recording of all the seniors on your active roster, just a fun 30-second clip. Do this, post it on YouTube, send us the links, and we’ll give 5 lucky chapters 25% off their order for graduation stoles.

Official Rules:

  • There must be at least 6 seniors graduating from your chapter and long portraits recorded of those 6 seniors. 25% off discount will be applied to the same # of long portraits as graduation sashes ordered.
  • Videos of seniors must be separate similar to PhotoJojo’s Long Portrait style video.
  • Nothing scandalous, please!
  • At least 2 seniors have to mention YourSash.com!

Entries should be emailed to orders[at]yoursash.com with links to the videos and contact information!

The first 5 chapters who submit videos that meet these criteria will receive 25% off their standard sash order (no logos or custom fabrics)!

Time Management & Graduation Tips

Today we wanted to feature 2 different posts.
The first one, Graduating Into A Recession comes from BusinessWeek.com. While the focus of the article is on those graduating from business school, it reiterates some important points that also apply to undergrads.
The 2 points we liked the most were:
1. The importance of networking and building up contacts.
2. Having a backup plan, or two.

The 2nd part of our post comes from Professor Randy Pausch.
If you haven’t heard of his remarkable story yet, please take a read/listen at ABCNews.
Check out his most recent lecture at the University of Virginia. It is long, but more than filled with great tidbits on time management that any senior or person in general should consider.

Mixing It Up A Little… Facebook Blog Theme

We decided to mix it up a little and go with a new theme for our The Super Senior Blog.
Does it look familiar? Because it’s designed after facebook.

Hope you like!

Reminder for all seniors graduating in April or May, you want to put in your order ASAP to avoid rush charges and to make sure that your graduation stoles come in on time!
