FACEBOOK OR TWITTER
Sites such as Facebook or Twitter provide networking opportunities for P.E.O.s joining these groups. International Chapter recognizes that many groups have been started by individual members and/or chapters. While these groups provide networking with other P.E.O.s they were not started, nor are they monitored or supported by International Chapter.
Members who join any of these groups should be reminded that they must abide by Standing Rule #2 - Circularization and not use any of these groups for the purpose of promotion of International Chapter projects or circularizing opinion on any subject without the permission of the executive board of International Chapter. (See Constitution, SR #2 paragraphs 2 and 3).
There are various networking sites on the Internet and with the above caution members may join at their discretion. P.E.O. members still need to refer to the P.E.O. International Chapter Website for official information.
