Great suggestions everyone! As someone who visits a lot of chapter websites, I'd simply remind everyone that if you don't want your mother (or your International President) to see it, don't put it on the website! I have seen some great chapter websites and try to send notes to thank them for representing their chapter and the Fraternity well.
The other caution would be the posting of private information, i.e. personal phone numbers and even individual emails. Your chapter's webmaster should have consent of everyone pictured and/or named on your site. You don't know who will be looking and harvesting chapter websites for personal infomation (name/ address/ phone #) and what they'll do with it (spam or stalk may be totally different things but the information should not come from the chapter website). I hate to sound like I don't trust people but the honest truth is that a healthy degree of distrust will keep you and your members safer.
I run the website for my alum club and I created a webmaster email on yahoo specifically for that reason. Our meeting calendar is posted but not locations (which are private homes)
