For Phi Beta, our online chapter is just that: a chapter that meets online. We have lots of alumni chapters, but only in large cities. For those of us who wish to participate in chapter life post-college, but don't live close to a "real life" chapter, we have the option to joing our Internet chapter.
We meet twice a month in a chat room.. we are working on by-laws, pay dues, complete individual service projects, etc. We are going to have a real-life meeting next summer at our National Convention.
The online meeting is a fairly new concept, and it's really kewl to be active in forming how it works. (One of our alumnae in a "real life" chapter is also a communications professor who is quite interested in how things go for us because online business meetings are quite cutting edge still).
This is only our second year and we just kicked off (following an academic calendar since many members are teachers), but it's really fun to be involved with a chapter.
