Recruitment is one feature, not the whole product
Chapter Builder is a solid recruitment tool, and chapters that love it usually still run a handful of other apps alongside it — a billing product for dues, a GroupMe for messaging, a spreadsheet for attendance, somebody's contacts list for alumni. That's five logins and five different sources of truth about who's in the chapter.
Greekly is the platform where recruitment is one feature alongside the others. The roster you use for rush is the same roster you use for dues, for required-event attendance, for the alumni directory, and for officer permissions. A PNM who accepts a bid becomes a pledge in the platform; a pledge who crosses becomes a full member. Nothing gets re-entered.
What Greekly does for recruitment
- PNM pipeline. Track potential new members from first contact through bid night. Tag interests, schedule follow-ups, and capture notes that carry across rounds.
- Round scheduling. Build out formal and informal rush rounds, assign PNMs to events, and collect RSVPs and attendance the same way you do for any other chapter event.
- Voting and bids. Run chapter votes inside the platform — anonymous or named, simple majority or custom thresholds. Distribute bids electronically once voting closes.
- Continuity after bidding. Accepted PNMs become pledges in the same platform — no data re-entry, no separate pledge tracking spreadsheet, no handoff between systems.
- Dues and attendance inherited. New members are on the roster the day they cross. Dues cycles, required events, and messaging channels pick them up automatically.
When Greekly is the right choice
Greekly is built for chapters that want one platform for the whole operation — recruitment included. If your recruitment chair is running rush in one tool and the rest of the chapter is running in four others, consolidating into Greekly means PNM data flows directly into the active roster the moment a bid is accepted.
If your chapter only needs a standalone PNM CRM and is content running the rest of the operation across GroupMe and spreadsheets, Chapter Builder is a focused option. Greekly's value is that recruitment is one feature in a platform that replaces the rest of the stack.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Greekly cover the same recruitment workflows?
- Yes — PNM tracking, round scheduling, votes, and electronic bid distribution. The difference is that recruitment runs on the same roster as dues, attendance, messaging, and the alumni directory, so accepted PNMs become full members without any re-entry.
- Can we import our PNM list from Chapter Builder?
- Yes. PNM data imports from CSV during onboarding, and our team helps map the fields so your recruitment chair doesn't lose any history. Most chapters complete the migration between formal rush cycles.
- Does Greekly handle formal and informal rush?
- Both. Configure formal rush with structured rounds, voting thresholds, and mutual preference; or run informal year-round recruitment with an open PNM pipeline. Chapters that do both use the same platform for each.
- What about the rest of chapter operations?
- Greekly handles dues (Stripe-backed, auto-reminders, live paid/unpaid), required-event attendance (rotating check-in codes), organized messaging (exec-only and full-chapter channels, with end-to-end encryption on sensitive threads), and an alumni directory with giving campaigns.
- How does Greekly compare on price?
- Pricing depends on chapter size and feature usage — contact us for a chapter-specific quote. Most chapters find the all-in-one pricing comes in below what they were paying across a recruitment tool plus a billing tool plus GroupMe Pro plus the rest of the stack.
- How long does it take to switch?
- Onboarding takes under an hour for most chapters. Import your active roster and PNM list, configure dues and required events, invite officers. You can run the next rush round, the next chapter meeting, and the next dues cycle through Greekly.
