Beta Omega Email Lists

The Lists

There are three email lists:  TXNews, TXTalk, and BarTalk.

• Theta Xi News (TXNews@txvt.org) is for official Beta Omega announcements. Posts require approval.

• Theta Xi Talk (TXTalk@txvt.org) is for discussion relevant to the fraternity.  "Junk mail" chain letters or jokes are not permitted.

• Bar Talk (BarTalk@txvt.org) is for open discussion on any topic. There are no content guidelines. The only rule is no "flaming" or attacking other members.

NONE of these lists are for confidential or sensitive information.  Non-brothers (alumni Little Sisters, spouses, etc.) are members of the lists.

The Hierarchy of the Lists

To be a member of TXTalk, you must be a member of TXNews.

To be a member of BarTalk, you must be a member of TXNews and TXTalk.

All list memberships require approval by a list manager.

TXNews generates very few email messages, limited to only important announcements.  BarTalk will provide the most email traffic, with the potential for much random discussion.  TXTalk will be in between, with all discussion relevant to Theta Xi and Virginia Tech.

All Beta Omega Brothers are automatically added to TXNews.

All Beta Omega Brothers are invited to join TXTalk.

You must take initiative to join BarTalk, as it will contain a lot of non-relevant mail.  However, a lot of wisdom, humor, and networking are to be found at the Bar.

Adding and Removing Your Email Address

To request membership to a list, select the list name on the navigation bar to the left.

Subscribe your email address.  You will get an email requiring you to confirm your address.

Multiple Email Addresses

When posting to a list by email, you must send From: a subscribed email address.  If you want to post from multiple email accounts, you can subscribe multiple email addresses to the lists.  To avoid receiving multiple copies of every message, select the Delivery option of "No Email" on alternate addresses.
