Events

Event management built for fraternity social chairs

A social chair’s real job is logistics under uncertainty: how many are coming, who saw the announcement, what the flyer looks like by Thursday. The GroupMe-poll-and-prayer method produces RSVP numbers that are off by 40% and a Canva session at midnight.

GreekLink gives events real plumbing: RSVPs tied to the member directory, push reminders that go out automatically, attendance you can report afterward, and an AI flyer generator that turns the event details into a postable graphic in seconds.

GIN System

One of the original chapter communication portals — announcements, calendars, files, and member Q&A. Many alumni remember GIN from their undergrad years, which says good things about its staying power and less good things about its pace of change.

Strengths

  • Simple announcements, files, and calendar in one place
  • Familiar to advisors and older exec boards

Limitations

  • Aging interface and member experience
  • No location-verified hour tracking, AI tooling, or modern chat UX
  • Engagement tends to be officer-driven rather than member-driven
Pricing: Subscription per chapter; quote on request.Best for: Chapters that only need announcements and file storage.

The DIY stack (GroupMe + Sheets + Venmo + Canva)

The default setup for most chapters: GroupMe for chat, Google Sheets for hours and points, Venmo for money, Canva for flyers, and a shared drive nobody can find anything in. Free, familiar — and the reason your treasurer spends five hours a week on admin.

Strengths

  • Free and already installed on everyone’s phone
  • Zero onboarding — everybody knows GroupMe and Sheets

Limitations

  • No single source of truth — data lives in six places
  • Officer transitions lose everything: chats, sheets, logins
  • Hours and attendance run on the honor system
  • No permissions: every member can see (or break) the spreadsheet
Pricing: Free in dollars; expensive in officer hours.Best for: Brand-new colonies with zero budget and a patient treasurer.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are RSVPs compared to GroupMe polls?+

Materially better, because they’re tied to named members with reminders — and attendance afterward shows you who actually came, which calibrates the next headcount.

What does the AI flyer generator do?+

Describe the event and get a portrait, square, or landscape flyer ready for Instagram or printing — quota by plan tier, unlimited on Pro. The Canva subscription becomes optional.

Can events sync to members’ calendars?+

Members get push reminders in the app, and chapter events can be added to device calendars so nothing depends on someone scrolling back through chat.
