The GroupMe Alternative for Chapters
The GroupMe Alternative Built for Fraternities & Sororities
Greek Connect is a GroupMe alternative for fraternities and sororities that replaces the group chat with messaging tied to a real roster — plus events, attendance, points, documents, and the continuity a chapter needs to run year after year.

GroupMe is a group chat — not a way to run a chapter
Plenty of chapters live in GroupMe, and it is fine for a quick message. But it was never built to run an organization. There is no roster behind it, no attendance, no events with RSVPs, no points, and no place to keep files. Notifications get muted, so announcements slip through the cracks. And every year the chat resets and the history is gone. Greek Connect keeps the messaging your members already expect and adds everything a chapter actually runs on.
What GroupMe can’t do
Here is what changes the day your chapter moves from a group chat to a platform built for running an organization.
GroupMe alone
A group chat with no idea who your members actually are
With Greek Connect
Messaging tied to a real roster — chapter-wide and per committee
GroupMe alone
No way to take attendance or know who showed up
With Greek Connect
Events with RSVPs and attendance check-in built in
GroupMe alone
No points, service hours, or accountability
With Greek Connect
Automatic points and service-hour tracking on every member
GroupMe alone
Files and links scroll away and are gone forever
With Greek Connect
A document drive where bylaws, forms, and files stay put
GroupMe alone
Muted notifications mean announcements get missed
With Greek Connect
Announcements members actually see, separate from chatter
GroupMe alone
Every year the chat resets and the history is lost
With Greek Connect
Continuity across officer transitions — nothing starts from zero
Everything the group chat was missing
Keep the messaging. Add the roster, events, attendance, points, and files that turn a chat into a chapter platform.
Messaging built on your roster
Send to the whole chapter or spin up committee threads that map to real people, not a phone number someone typed in once. New members are in the right conversations automatically.
Events with RSVPs
Post chapter events, socials, and service to a shared calendar, collect RSVPs, and stop guessing who is coming from a wall of thumbs-up reactions.
Attendance check-in
Take attendance at meetings and events in seconds. No more scrolling the chat to figure out who was there and who ghosted.
Points & service hours
Track participation, points, and service hours automatically as members show up — something a group chat was never built to do.
A document drive that lasts
Keep bylaws, risk forms, and shared files in one place instead of watching them scroll off the top of the chat and disappear.
Continuity year to year
When exec turns over, the roster, history, and files stay. New officers inherit a running chapter instead of a fresh, empty group chat.
“Greek Connect instantly improved our internal chapter communication, putting all of our regular fraternity functions in one place. From an easy points tracking system for clear service hours management to polls and signups integrated directly with our calendar events, Greek Connect’s unique features allow us to lead our brothers with increased transparency and efficiency.”
T.J. Middlebrooks
President @ Theta Xi
“Among the many attributes of Greek Connect, its user-friendly interface creates efficient and seamless management. I confidently endorse Greek Connect to all, as it serves as the one-stop-shop for fulfilling any organization's needs.”
Jonathan Snelgrove
VP of Internal Affairs @ Phi Gamma Nu
“The best part about Greek Connect is that it allowed us to have a centralized platform with easy access to a cohesive calendar for members, along with important documents, and a roster. The Rush section was also incredibly helpful to us as it allows us to get a better view of how members saw PNMs.”
Patrick Day
Secretary @ Phi Delta Theta
Questions about switching from GroupMe
Is Greek Connect a replacement for GroupMe?
Yes. Greek Connect gives you chapter-wide and committee messaging tied to your real roster, so you can retire the group chat — and it adds the things GroupMe was never built for, like events with RSVPs, attendance check-in, points and service-hour tracking, a document drive, and announcements members actually see.
Why do chapters move off GroupMe?
GroupMe is a group chat. It has no roster, no attendance, no events with RSVPs, no points, and no place to keep files — and notifications get muted so announcements slip through. Every year the chat resets and the history is lost. Chapters move to Greek Connect to run the organization, not just chat about it.
Can we still message members like we do in GroupMe?
Yes. You get a chapter-wide feed plus committee and group threads. The difference is that every conversation is tied to your roster, so members are added automatically and announcements stay separate from day-to-day chatter instead of getting lost.
Do members have to download an app?
Greek Connect has native iOS and Android apps plus a web app, so members can message, RSVP, and check the calendar from their phones — the same way they already use GroupMe, with everything else your chapter runs on in the same place.
What happens when our officers change?
This is the biggest reason chapters switch. In a group chat, the history and files reset when exec turns over. In Greek Connect, the roster, documents, points, and records carry forward, so new officers inherit a running chapter instead of starting from an empty chat.
How hard is it to switch from GroupMe?
It is quick. Import your roster during onboarding, invite your members, and turn on messaging, events, attendance, and the rest. Most chapters are up and running the same day, no credit card required to start.
