Website

[Texas Beta]

I was working on ours for a while, www.utbeta.org but it has major back end problems, we tried to build a huge online alumn database and it sorta crashed. We're working on a new site right now, a lot simpler and cleaner.

Really nice website, how long did it take you to get it up and running? Also, which hosting company do you use? I've been shopping around.

Outstanding job

I noticed in your photos section an event titled "Big little with Alpha Sigma Pi. Our Gamma Psi chapter is at Lawrence Technological University. Is there also an Alpha Sigma Pi fraternity as well as ours? My guess is this is just a typo.

Wow, this is very nicely laid out. The colors are pleasing and the symbolism and spirit of the sorority is evident.

I would suggest that you reorder your site menu bar. Arranging the pages in alphabetical is not typical and may cause frustration when trying to locate information.

You also may want to make your calendar interactive or, at the very least, include links to flyers or another page with more information on your many events. This will help users who want to find out how to attend your events.

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I was told that having a calendar gave out too much specific information about our chapter, so I just put general information such as "initiation" or "depinning", etc. so that, if the girls forgot a date or time they could just look up the website real quick. Our old CPO freaked out about the calendar part of the website, so I'm just going to leave it as is, haha.

But as for the person that talked about the menu links, what do you mean? How should I arrange them if not alphabetical order? I thought listing them in alphabetical order would be the easiest way of finding things.

If you look at different organization and company websites, the links generally start with Home or Main, then list things like Calendar, Mission/History, Activities, etc. then Contact Us or About Us are the last items in the list. When viewing websites, people just expect this general order. I hope this helps.

The overall look of your site is very nice and pleasant to read. I like the page banner and the page layout in general.

However, you may want to increase your font size of your main text on all of your pages to the size of the text on the Rush page. The About page would be better if it was split into two or three pages because there is an awful lot of information in small type that is difficult to read, something that occurs on most of the site.

I am not sure if your organization has official colors but you may want to make them prominent in the design of your site.
