I think this topic will be watched with interest by many student chapters.

When I was in school at Cal State Univ, Chico, we had the same question.
(Though the school does evaluations, the results are confidential.)  Our final
decision was that it was much too political.  The ACM chapter at CSU Chico
depends on faculty support in several ways.  We decided that, if we were going
to do anything of that kind, the survey results would only go toward awards
for the best instructors.  It was the only politically safe approach to take.

Professor evaluations are a good idea.  The problem is that your chapter may be
too close to the action not to be affected by the results.
