One button can send a message to everyone who's interested!

I agree their useful, but at our campus it's more the lower-tier houses doing it to get their names out and the same mid to low tier sorority girls joining every one, so the better houses just kind of stay out of that fray. As I said, if everyone on campus already knows you're a good house and you don't do a lot of gimmicky events for rush, it just seems kind of desperate.

Its 91% easier to just have everyone in a group so that you can shoot a message out to everyone. I'm not talking about the groups that brag about how cool *insert shitty chapter here* is and how everyone should rush them, just something to keep rush organized and make sure that everyone knows when the next bbq/ band party is.

Oh come on, a 91% reference here?

Hell, we also got a guy named Cracker Barrel, but still.
