Yea tell me about it!!!
We are a little bigger fraternity with (110) and we just started using text messaging to keep all our members up to date on brotherhoods, events, chapter meetings etc. We are using one of those website that allow you to manage your chapter online and then text from your phone to the whole group at once. Worth giving it a shot, it's working pretty well for us!

Another Idea...
Here is another idea if you have a listserv and you wanna text message your chapter, we did this before, but we couldn't manage it that well, maybe with a smaller chapter it would be easy.
- Collect everyones phone number and carrier (cingular, at&t etc.)
- Put each members email as their phone number@ there carrier handle. You can find all these by searching Google with "Email to SMS" that will pretty much allow you to send an email that converts into a text message to each phone.

How many members do you have in your chapter? We tried a phone tree and someone would always mess it up! Maybe it's just our chapter, lol.

We did the phone tree with 105 members. It worked.
