1. We do use a chapter wide email list, it's a yahoogroup. All members subscribe to it and we even elect a sister to moderate it.
2. We can get between 5 and 100 emails a week. It really just depends on what's going on chapter-wise, on campus, and in our individual lives.
3. We have about 40 women in our chapter and most of us hold positions so most everyone has "business" emails to send out. We often find this useful when we just have too much to discuss during our weekly chapter meetings and over the summer it is crucial. Our only real rules regarding email are no chainmail/forwards and if it's business it has to be sent out by the sister holding that position (i.e. if i heard about a volunteer opportunity i would forward it to our Service Chair who would then email the chapter) that way if anyone responds to it they will be in direct contact with the correct person.
4. All of us have access to email. Some rarely send out email, others email us whenever they're bored. We also have an alumnae list that sisters subscribe to once they go alum.
5. There really hasn't been any offensive email since I joined in 2005. I know there used to be issues with forwards like surveys that someone would fill out and forward to the whole chapter. It just wasn't relevant so no one does it anymore. Otherwise, there's been maybe one or two times a sister has said someone in the heat of the moment but an apology email soon follows so it's never been an issue.
Hope this helps!
Also, I know you said you have a list, but in case you're interested...yahoo allows you to upload files (we have policies and meeting minutes), pictures, calendar, and other useful items.
