Chapter Listserv Question for Advisors

[ECUJacob]

Our chapter has several email listserv's... actives, pledges, alumni, advisors, etc.

As Chapter Counselor (lead Advisor), I'm on all of them.

my chapter has one that is for collegiates and alumnae. basically the collegiates use it to share info with the alums (ie. things the chapter is going to do, election results, etc.). the alums use it to share things happening in their lives, etc.

when i was the advisor, i created a list serv specifically for the officiers and the advisors. i found this to be useful because i could, for example, forward emails from the phi mu accounts to the whole group at once. we used yahoogroups so we could also post the minutes to the meetings online so that the advisors who werent in attendance were always kept in the loop. the advisors liked it because they knew what was going on....the officers didn't really use it in the way i had hoped, but it did work.

As Chapter Advisor, I am on the undergraduate chapter's listserv. It makes me feel in the loop and get a better feel for how things are going in the chapter. A lot of the information is stuff I don't necessarily need to know, but its nice to at least have the opportunity to skim the e-mails for information that I need to be aware of.
