| The mailing list
consists of a number (currently about 400) of interested Triangle brothers
and pledges with e-mail addresses. e-mail sent to one central address automatically gets duplicated and sent to everyone
on the mailing list. In this way, Triangles all over the world can
interact in a central "community" and carry on discussions about many
different topics.
Recent topics have included:
- Top Ten Reasons for joining Triangle
- What should the Mission of Triangle be?
- Events at last summer's Leadership School
The traffic on the mailing list can vary quite a bit. Some days will go
by with only one or two messages sent out, while other topics can provoke a
flurry of fifteen or twenty messages in a twenty-four hour period.
This mailing list is not moderated, and while many of the messages are
serious discussions of brotherhood and other issues concerning the
fraternity, we also tolerate casual messages containing jokes and friendly
banter (within reason). If you are concerned about the amount of e-mail
you receive, you may want to choose option B (below).
E-mail Categories
I've structured the mailing list in order to accommodate the desires of as
many people as possible regarding the amount and content of e-mail sent to
the list. There are four possible options (in decreasing order of mail flow):
- The Mailing
List
People in this category will get a copy of every piece of mail sent to
the mailing list, and they'll get it as quickly as the networks allow.
General chatter, including topics not directly related to Triangle, is
permitted, but participants are still encouraged to exercise common sense
before posting.
The mailing list is the best option to fully participate in the electronic
discussion with your fellow Triangles.
- The Digest
People in this category will get a daily digest containing selected
excerpts from the previous days' messages to the mailing list. The digest
will *not* include the more extraneous or frivolous comments, but will
hopefully still contain messages directly relevant to Triangle and the
brotherhood. Digest recipients can still send mail to the "A" mailing list.
- No mail, but include me
on the roster
People in this category will not receive any of the e-mail messages
mentioned above, but will be listed on the e-mail roster in case someone
wants to reach them personally.
- Unlisted
People in this category will not be listed on the e-mail roster and
will not receive any unsolicited e-mail. (The "unlisted phone number"
option)
