is having a facebook an absolute MUST for a college social life?
i was just wondering if having a facebook is absolutely pivotal to have an active social life in college. i just have never liked the idea of social networking websites (i hate taking pictures and i think people get too engrossed in the "drama" of it all), and prefer to contact my friends via text message, e-mail, aim, or WOW! over the good ol' phone.
so... will i still be able to go to parties, hang out, whatever if i don't have one in college?

Facebook would probably really help out, but think about how high school parties work; it's not only people with Facebooks that are invited.
It makes it easier for you to be reached, which may make people want to invite you more, but if you talk to people IN PERSON and get phone numbers, you should still get invited.

I don't think it's really all at that necessary. If you want to go to a party or someone wants to invite you, why do they need Facebook to do so? They should invite either by calls, texts, aim for e-mail. It's easier. Also, the stuff in an e-mail or anything of the sort would be between the two of you, and no one else like Facebook sometimes shows.
I don't think you need one. If you don't want one, then don't get one. But to have an active college social life, I don't find it necessary.

If it's important to you to get invited to every huge party on campus, then yep, Facebook is a damn good tool to help make that happen.
But if what you want is to hang out with a more select group of friends. Go to their birthday shindigs and catch movies, you are probably fine without Facebook.
Last year I joined Facebook. I also don't take photos or enjoy the 'drama', but it was necessary for work. Honestly, now I rather like it. I didn't change my mind about the bits of it I don't like, but I have found things about it that I find really useful.
You could always give it a try if you were concerned about 'missing out' and delete your profile if you find it useless or uncomfortable.
