— Building Networks for the Greek System & Individual Chapters —

GREEK ORGANIZATIONS ARE THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL DEFINITION OF A SOCIAL NETWORK

THEIR MOST VALUABLE ASSET IS THEIR MEMBERSHIP

THAT VALUE IS LOST THROUGH THE USE OF INADEQUATE TOOLS

THE PROBLEM— Structure, Communication, Privacy —

Greek Life is Complex

• There is a lot going on at either the Chapter or Council level

• Need: A tool that allows structured communication

Greek Life Requires Constant Communication

• Messaging tools don’t handle the complexity of greek life well and quickly become

overwhelming with nonsensical back-and-forth chatter

•Need: A tool that allows for easier, focused discussion

Privacy is Crucial

• A chapter requires the ability to discuss sensitive topics amongst themselves with the

confidence that only members will have access

• Need: A tool that is built with privacy in mind

THE SOLUTION— Interconnected Chapter and Council Private Networks —

Councils Need the Ability to Effectively Distribute Information

• Build Unity within the entire greek system on one closed network • Share events, happenings, ideas • Connect members of separate houses through shared passions (ie, Greek Snowboarders)

• Allow for Council-Wide announcements to be pushed to all members’ phones • Easily control access to the community and limit it to only greeks

Chapters Need the Ability to Manage Their Membership

• Structure the chapter in as many groups as necessary to most effectively communicate • Give members of specific teams a place to communicate (Recruitment, Development, Sports) • Keep the jokes where they belong - in the Off Topic group

• Allow Chapter Leaders to push notifications to all members’ mobile phones • Maintain total privacy in communication to only active chapter members

IMAGINE THIS IS THE ENTIRE GREEK SYSTEM— Every House on Campus —

ALL GREEK LIFE
