Built for how fraternities actually run
Most fraternity chapters are running on a patchwork of GroupMe threads, a treasurer's personal Venmo, a spreadsheet nobody updates, and a clipboard at the door. That works until it doesn't — dues slip, attendance records disappear, officer transitions start from zero, and risk management turns into a retroactive paper chase the week before nationals visits.
Greekly is the fraternity platform that replaces all of that with one system your exec board will actually log into. Every feature was designed for the specific way IFC chapters operate: weekly chapter meeting attendance, semester dues cycles, rush with bids and votes, standards boards, and an executive board that hands off every year.
What Greekly does for fraternities
- Dues that collect themselves. Charge semester dues and one-off assessments through Stripe. Auto-remind late payers. Every officer with the permission can see who's paid and who hasn't — no more pinging the treasurer on GroupMe.
- Chapter meeting attendance. Check-ins run at the door with a rotating code. Required events are tagged, and members see their own attendance record so standards hearings are a conversation, not an argument.
- Rush, rounds, and bids. Track PNMs from first contact through bid night. Schedule rounds, run votes, distribute bids electronically — the full recruitment pipeline without an Excel workbook named rush_FINAL_v7.xlsx.
- Organized messaging. Separate channels for exec, committees, pledge class, and the full chapter. Officer-only channels for things actives shouldn't see. Optional end-to-end encryption on standards and risk conversations.
- Risk and standards paper trail. Document incidents, member conduct, and standards board outcomes in a searchable record that carries through officer transitions — not in the outgoing president's Google Doc.
- Alumni who stay connected. Maintain a directory, invite alumni to homecoming and founders' day, and run giving campaigns. Four years of brotherhood doesn't have to end at graduation.
Why another app instead of another spreadsheet?
Because the spreadsheet is the problem. Chapter operations are continuous — members join, events happen weekly, payments come in every month, officers change every spring. A spreadsheet is a snapshot; a platform is a record. The moment your chapter grows past forty brothers, the spreadsheet becomes the bottleneck holding up every officer's job.
Greekly is specifically a fraternity platform — not a generic club or nonprofit tool. Permissions understand officer positions (president, treasurer, recruitment chair, risk chair, standards chair). Dues understand semester cycles. Recruitment understands rush rounds and bid votes. Nothing in the product exists because it was useful for a church or a softball league.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Greekly just for fraternities, or also for sororities?
- Greekly is built for both. This page is focused on how fraternities use the platform — there is a separate overview for sororities that covers Panhellenic-specific workflows like formal rush and philanthropy events.
- Do we need to be an IFC chapter to use Greekly?
- No. Greekly supports IFC, NPHC, multicultural Greek-letter organizations, and independent fraternity chapters. The platform doesn't enforce a governing council — your chapter decides how it wants to be organized inside Greekly.
- How does Greekly handle fraternity dues collection?
- Greekly integrates with Stripe to charge members directly. You create a dues charge once (e.g., $425 semester dues), assign it to the roster, and members pay through the portal. Late payers get automated reminders. Officers with the treasurer permission see a live paid/unpaid board.
- Can we track attendance at required chapter events?
- Yes. Tag any event as required, and Greekly tracks per-member attendance against it. Members see their own attendance record in their portal. Officers see the full chapter view, which makes standards hearings evidence-based instead of he-said-she-said.
- What does officer transition look like?
- Permissions are tied to officer positions, not individuals. When a new exec board is elected, outgoing officers hand off their position inside the platform and the new officer inherits the permissions, the historical data, and the documentation — nothing lives on a personal laptop.
- Is our chapter data private?
- Yes. Every tool is scoped to your own chapter — another chapter on Greekly cannot see your roster, dues, messages, or recruitment data. Sensitive channels (standards, risk) can be end-to-end encrypted, and the in-app AI assistant has read-only access and cannot take any destructive action.
