Ding ding ding.
I didn't live near my college, so the websites were the only way I even found out anything about the sororities here before I came! They can be a huge recruitment tool if people would just update them regularly. And since your chapter controls all the content on the site, you can show yourselves off in the best way possible.
Advice to councils? Pick the website chair well. Pick someone who's dependable, always taking pictures or movies to add to the site, involved in chapter functions, and good with computers. Have them keep a notebook with all the relevant information--passwords, how to get access to edit the site (or contact information for the company handling your site), site design guidelines for your school and sorority (no cups in pictures, file size limits, etc.), CDs with pictures or the FTP program you use, etc., etc. And have someone on council (VP-PR usually is over the website appointed office, I think) check up on the chair to see what they're planning or working on re: the site.
And if your GLO doesn't give space, host it on the school server! I think that's one of KD's national requirements, but it's usually free space and easy to find/link to from the school's Greek Life pages. I just remember a horror story about one chapter who forgot to renew their external URL only to have that URL bought by a porn site--eek!
