Our Chapter set up a mass-text system. We have several different branches too depending on who you want to contact.

"actives.text@********.com"
"alumni.text@*******.com"
"pledges.text@******.com"
"EC.text@********.com"
"optin.text@******.com"

Our "optin.text" group is just for fun stuff like "Free Ice Cream in the Student Union at 2PM", or "Seeing a movie at 6PM text me if you want to come!"

It's really easy to set up too. I became the New Member Educator for my Fraternity this most recent year, and I decided to start up "pledges.text" from scratch. It took a little bit for me to figure out (not a computer person AT ALL), but once I got it, it was a breeze.

I go to a really big technology school, and one of our really tech-savvy brothers built us our own online discussion forum (just like GreekChat, but private for us). It's INCREDIBLY convenient, and it allows us to discuss a lot of stuff outside of Chapter.

I wouldn't even know how to set one up, but if you've got someone in your Chapter who is really tech-savvy, you should consider it.
