I beg to differ...
As a somewhat professional designer myself, this page strikes me as having been done by an amateur, or having been put together under tight time constraints. The layout and scheme are very humdrum- nothing cutting edge at all- and I would rate this as only a lateral progression from the previous site. I've seen both collegiate and alumnae chapters with much better sites.
Without changing topics or intending to reignite anything controversial, let me just say that I believe the site's makeover comes as a hurried byproduct of the issues which prompted the 09.01.02 General Information Alert.
