Ok, Gamma Phi Beta chiming in!
What kind of set up is it?
Our sisters only area has "what's new" memos from IHQ, a message board, member search, forms to download, a place to order supplies, etc.
How active are the discussions?
Eh.....not *that* active. Only 4 of the 9 forums have posts from March.
Do contraversial topics get brought up like they do here?
Nope.
How is it moderated?
I don't think the message board is moderated.
Do you get real responses or some sort of greek version of corporate babble-speak?
When our IHQ staff members post, we get "real responses".
How long ago did it start being used?
Because I've only been a member for a year, I'm not sure. . From what I can tell, the website was redesigned in 2003 and the message board was "reset" at that time. However, I believe that there was a private side to the website prior to 2003.
Are there other, "unofficial" resources out there for your group that are used more? Why do you think that is?
I don't think we really have any other "unofficial resources" for Gamma Phi as a whole that get more traffic. I do believe there is a special listserve for the Crescent Catchers....and I know there are lots of listserves for specific chapters. It seems to me that they would get used more due to the fact that they focus on a specific audience.
