That's unacceptable imo. I'm all for userboxes (within reason), but saying
anyone should (and for new users, it could be misinterpreted as must) add a
sorority or frat userbox to their userpage via article talk space is clearly
a violation of "not a social space" to me. It has the distinct potential to
detract from the central goal, to write a neutral encyclopedia. Not to
mention that such articles shouldn't be lorded over by members and alumuni
anyway.

I just stumbled over two talk pages which contain a new message colored
notices "if you are a member of X add {{X}} to your [[user page]]".
WP:NOT#SOCIALSPACE or acceptable behaviour?
