My suggestions are the following:
I think allowing sisters to change their username to something that they can remember. I suspect that many sisters go through the initial logging on, with their copy of the "Adelphean" by their side, but the next time they want to log on, they can't remember their number.
Being able to create nicknames as user names is really fun and helps actually make the user experience more individual. The GC experience is great in that we can have a nick name and then also have a signature which can also be a forum for other information such as individual chapter. On ADPi the nicks might concentrate on our interests outside of ADPi, which is another way to get to know one another via the technology.
The ability to upload digital pictures and sound files would be a blast. Imagine being able to actually hear the new CD that the Washington chapter created? Or, how about actual pictures of Rush parties? Imagine how fun threads could be if sisters everywhere could write rush threads similar to the ones on GC complete with pics?
My pet peeve with Pride Online, is also that many times someone will ask a question such as; "need suggestions of good exit songs" And the answer will be "email me at adpi is for me.com we have great exit songs!" So those who are casual readers never get to see the exit songs themselves. I'm not sure how to resolve that one, but if anyone else has an idea, I'd love to hear it.
I also think that Pride Online is simply very static. There are very few areas that are updated frequently, and new information is what people log onto sites for. Obviously I'm making these suggestion without knowing the approval process the Grand Council has established, nor do I know the cost of updates; but in an ideal world I would think that there would be the ability to have a "letter" from an international officer each month. Or maybe an officer from each District highlighting their chapters and alumnae associations. How about an online diary from sisters in different size chapters or different geographic locations that follows how they handle year round recruitment, or philanthropic events, etc...?
Those are just some thoughts, great question as usual adpiucf!
