I get lots of student emails that fall into neither of these categories, and I used to stall a lot on answering them. Now I just reply with "come to office hours."

Speaking of which, please also don't use FB to contact people. I just realized I had a junk folder in my FB messages. I clicked on it and found 2-3 young ladies from about two years ago asking me for recommendations for recruitment. I would have gladly written them but, FB was not the best place to ask. I felt horrible and messaged them to apologize for not responding. The good news is that one went Alpha Omicron Pi, another went Kappa Alpha Theta, and the third one went Phi Mu. That's just another reason why talking to people in person or on the phone definitely beats out email or FB messages.
