That company has employed some sketchy tactics in the past ([going back to 2008](http://squaredpeg.com/index.php/2008/12/18/facebook-pay-attention/)). They have tried so many different ways to catch on. Back in the day, they started by creating “Class of 20xx” Facebook groups for hundreds of colleges using fake Facebook profiles to admin the groups.

They are why so many colleges and universities now start the groups for their students and hand the keys over right away. I don’t want to manage your class page, but I don’t want some random non-UVa person at the wheel, either. So we have two ambassadors start the groups and they turn them over to the First Year Class Council when it gets elected.

Okay, that was probably too long. If you want to know more, the link I posted will send you down the rabbit hole.
