I really like both the DPhiE site and SK site. 'Course I'm partial to the SK site though.
However, they do both display two of my pet peeves about chapter sites and sites in general.
For the DPhiE site: When I viewed it on my computer at home the proportion was off so instead of seeing "
delta phi epsilon, alpha psi chapter" I was seeing "
hi epsilon si chapter". It left me wondering if it was my computer or the site that was messed up. When I view it on my parents computer it's perfect.
I'd suggest sticking somewhere on the front page a "Best viewed in..." notice. That way it's clear where the problem lies.
For the SK site: I was left wondering where your chapter is located. Based on address, emails, and photos I figured out it's Western Michigan University. Somewhere on the front page you should have something like "Welcome to the Gamma Beta Chapter of Sigma Kappa Sorority at Western Michigan University". Even if you don't give any more information about the school I'd have enough to look up the school site and learn more about the personality of the school and chapter, etc.

I second Ree's caution about national guidelines. As a formal chapter advisor I know that while I may see things on a site that don't bother me personally that there are people more powerful in HQ that may see a picture and think negatively of the contents. I once had to tell my girls to remove a few photos because I knew that if a certain HQ officer who would more than likely see the site sooner than later saw the pics she would pop a vein over the images. Now I'm rambling.
JessicaElaine ~ I'd just make sure that your content and photos are in line with your HQ guidelines re alcohol, big/lil bro policies, men at recruitment guidelines, etc. It appears that your the only national sorority at your school so I can understand that there may be things that are tradition on campus that don't jive with HQ rules.
