BTW, I have noticed a lot of folks on here indicate that they are/were a reporter, journalist, newlsetter editor or publicity chair for their chapter. I would reason to say that may are/were webmasters as well. Is it something about the 'Net? In my capacity as Journalist, my committee is responsible for our website, publicity, internal communications and the newsletter. We have evolved into a miniature chapter technology task force because most of our information is disseminated electronically (website, mailing list, phone tree, etc.). Has anyone else had this experience?

Yes indeed.
My chapter is in the process of reorganizing and streamlining our communications. In the past year, we have gone from using the newsletter as our sole means of communication to having a newsletter, yahoogroup, and website. (Coincidence?
)
We recently established a Communications and Technology Committee. The webmaster chairs it and the Corresponding Secretary and Editor of the Newsletter must sit on it.
I think that what many of us on GC have in common is a love of information. We stay on the internet all day at work to pass the time or for significant periods after hours. As aspirants, we used the internet to research....as members of our orgs, we use it to make our Greek world smaller, to meet people in between conventions, make connections, etc. I think we just like knowing stuff and knowing people.
