Formal recruitment was not built for a spreadsheet
Formal recruitment is the most operationally demanding week of a sorority chapter's year. Rounds scheduled to the minute, cuts and callbacks running in parallel, voting tallied by hand, PNM notes scattered across a dozen clipboards. The tooling most chapters use — ChapterBuilder or Google Sheets plus GroupMe — stops pretending to scale the first time two rounds overlap.
Greekly is the sorority platform that treats recruitment as the core workflow, not a feature bolted onto a generic roster tool. PNMs, rounds, voting, cuts, and bid distribution all live in one place. Officers see the same picture. Rec committee has the same notes. Nothing gets lost between Monday night and bid day.
Everything a Panhellenic chapter runs — in one platform
- Formal recruitment. Round scheduling, PNM profiles, conversation notes, voting, cuts, callbacks, and bid lists. Rec chairs actually sleep during recruitment week.
- Dues that don't need chasing. Charge dues and parlor fees through Stripe. Auto-remind late payers. Treasurer sees a live balance for every sister without opening a spreadsheet.
- Sisterhood and required events. Mark events as required, run check-ins at the door, and see per-sister attendance in real time. No clipboard. No ambiguity about who showed up.
- Philanthropy hour tracking. Sisters log their hours; philanthropy chair approves; chapter sees progress against the semester goal. End of semester reports write themselves.
- Messaging that doesn't lose things. Separate channels for exec, committees, pledge class, and the full chapter. Polls, announcements, and reminders in the place sisters already live — not spread across three GroupMes.
- Alumnae who stay in touch. Directory, event invitations, and giving campaigns turn four years of sisterhood into a lifetime network — and into a measurable alumnae giving channel for the house corporation.
Why Greekly instead of the tool you already use?
Most sorority chapters are paying for one tool that does recruitment, a second that does dues, a Google Drive that does documents, and a GroupMe that does messaging. The problem with that stack isn't cost — it's that the data doesn't talk. Your roster lives in three places. A sister can be marked paid in one tool and overdue in another. Nothing is ever the source of truth.
Greekly is one platform with one roster, one permissions model, and one source of truth. Recruitment feeds into roster. Roster feeds into dues. Dues feed into standards. Events feed into attendance. When a sister joins, she appears everywhere; when she graduates, she moves cleanly into the alumnae directory. That coherence is the feature.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Greekly work for National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) chapters?
- Yes. Greekly supports NPC, NPHC, and multicultural Greek-letter sororities. The platform is organization-agnostic — your chapter configures its own letters, chapter designation, and the school it belongs to during setup.
- How does Greekly handle formal recruitment?
- Greekly runs the full formal recruitment pipeline: PNM profiles with photos and notes, round scheduling, per-round voting, cuts and callbacks, and bid list generation. Every sister on rec committee sees the same data in real time, which eliminates the standard recruitment-week chaos of reconciling paper notes.
- Can we track philanthropy and service hours?
- Yes. Sisters submit hours through their portal, philanthropy chair approves them, and the chapter dashboard shows progress against the semester goal per sister and in aggregate. End-of-semester reporting is one click.
- Is our chapter data visible to other sororities on Greekly?
- No. Every tool is scoped strictly to your chapter — roster, dues, messages, recruitment data, and philanthropy hours are invisible to any other chapter or any other organization on the platform.
- What about alumnae? Can they use Greekly too?
- Yes. When a sister graduates, she moves into the alumnae directory automatically. Alumnae can receive event invitations, update their contact info, and participate in giving campaigns — turning an otherwise dormant alumnae list into a real network.
- How long does it take to set up a chapter?
- Most chapters are onboarded in under an hour. An exec board member creates the account, configures the organization and university, imports the roster (CSV or manual), and invites officers. You can be running dues the same day.
