One of the chapters I work with uses The Gin Systems which looks similar. It has helped with cutting down paper costs since this particular chapter has over 200 members. They also post other important announcements over the summer on it. I think it is a great tool. I can see how it can detract from chapter communications however, if it is used properly it really does help with communications. Nowadays, students' inboxes are filled with so much and their facebook inboxes too, so this allows them to login and see what's going on. It should not take the place of chapter meetings and other important committee meetings. The Gin Systems also allows you to text message members important messages. This has been very helpful if a meeting time has had to change at the last minute or there is an emergency meeting.
