Chapter text messages
How the Epsilon Mu Graduate Chapter uses text messages, how a brother consents to receive them, and how he stops them.
Chapter and event notifications for members of the
Epsilon Mu Graduate Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau. Message frequency varies.
Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to
cancel, HELP for help.
Chapter text messages are being set up. Nothing is sent to any brother's phone until he has opted in as described below.
Who sends these messages, and to whom
Messages are sent by the Epsilon Mu Graduate Chapter to brothers who are members of the chapter's website at emgraduatechapter.org and who have chosen to receive them. We do not send messages to anyone who is not a member of the chapter, and we do not send marketing or promotional messages of any kind.
What we send
- Notices about chapter events, such as Homecoming
- Notices about chapter business, projects and meetings
- Alerts that another brother has posted or replied in the chapter forums, if he has asked for those
How a brother opts in
Consent is given by the brother himself, on the chapter website, after he has signed in:
- He goes to emgraduatechapter.org and creates an account. A brother already in the chapter then admits him; until that happens he can see nothing.
- He opens My Profile and enters his own mobile number in the Mobile number field. The field is blank until he fills it in.
- Under How we reach you he sets Send notifications by to Text message or Email and text. The default is On this site only, which sends nothing to his phone.
- Beside that choice he is shown this disclosure before he saves: "By choosing text message you agree to receive chapter and event notifications from the Epsilon Mu Graduate Chapter at the mobile number on your profile. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help."
- He presses Save changes. Nothing is sent to his phone until he has done so.
No brother is opted in by default, and no brother is opted in by anyone other than himself. A number typed by one brother into another brother's record is never used to send messages.
How a brother opts out
Either way works, at any time:
- Reply
STOPto any chapter text. Carrier rules take over at that point and messages stop regardless of any setting on the site. - Or set Send notifications by back to On this site only, or How often to Nothing at all, in My Profile.
Reply HELP to any chapter text for help, or write to the chapter
through the website.
Carriers
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
