First some background then the Question.

Virginia Wesleyan College just got e-mail this past August... In fact that
was the first time VWC has been on the Internet at all... To get an E-mail
account through the school requires one to fill out a form (three blanks)
and pay only one dollar.

My question is: what is everyones opinion on requiring brothers in the
chapter to have and check that email account. (whether it's through school
or not).

Pro: constant communication
        Easy communication
        slip in that e-mail education too
        does not replace but enhance existing lines of communication

Con: Come to depend on it
        Not everyone wants to know e-mail
        Not everyone has time to check it.

Anyway, those were the pros and cons that came off the top of my head... I
would appreciate any input you have.
