Gin Greek Introduction
The Group Interactive Network (GIN) System is a secure, web-based system used by over 800 Greek chapters across the country to simplify chapter communication and organization.
Are you looking for a better way to communicate with members than mass-emailing everyone using your school listserv? Are you tired of sending repeated chapter reminders through individual Facebook messages and phone calls?
Have you ever lost a signup sheet, copied the chapter phone list only to find it is immediately outdated, or lost an important file when an officer graduated and forgot to pass it on?
GIN is the solution!
GIN functions as a "Member Portal" for Greek-letter organizations and student groups. Every member has a unique username and password to log into their chapter's secure system. With GIN, users can do a variety of things that have until now consumed countless hours (and caused countless headaches) for officers and members. More free time and better communication mean that you will be able to concentrate on philanthropy, socializing and the brotherhood/sisterhood that drew you to your organization in the first place.
GIN simplifies chapter management with these valuable tools:
- Unlimited Email/Text Messaging Groups - Email only the members who need your information (not the entire email list), ensuring your messages will be read. Need to get the word out quickly? Send a text message to individual members or groups, and there's never a charge to do so.
- Secure, Online File Sharing - Never lose a file again! Post any size or type of file and organize files in folders.
- Online Calendar with Auto Reminder Feature - Post chapter events online in one location. Events can be posted in different colors for each type of event and reminder emails and text messages can be sent out in advance, automatically.
- Online Member Directory with Phone, Email, Mailing Address, Major/Minor, and more - Each member of your GIN creates a profile the first time he/she logs in. Directory information, including Cell Phone, Email Address, Permanent Address, Major, Minor, Position, Chapter Name, etc. is available to the group and is always up to date. The entire phone/email list is sortable and easily exportable to Excel.
- Online Surveys, Signups, and Questions Feature - Post event signups, bus signups, t-shirt signups, chapter suggestion boxes, voting, and more. Create anonymous open questions to allow for suggestions (Chapter Suggestions, Social theme or Menu Suggestions). Create pre-set answers to automatically tally t-shirt orders.
- Announcements with Automatic Reminder Feature - Post any type of chapter announcement, and members, new members, or alumni will see the announcement when logging into GIN. If you choose, email or text message the announcement with one click.
- Discussion Boards for Members, New Members, and Alumni - Increase member communication without increasing the number of emails that go out. Members can post any topics--textbook trading, classes to take, stuff for sale, sports tickets trading, spring break and summer planning. Communicate with alumni on the alumni discussion board, too.
- Who's in My Classes Feature - Members list their classes in the profile list and with one click can see who in the chapter is taking the same classes. Now study group matching is a breeze.
And many other features and benefits!
3 Systems in One - With GIN, Officers, Members, New Members, and Alumni have their own access levels in the system. Post calendar dates, reminders, files, and more, and designate them for the group that needs them. Post new member dates on the new member calendar; add the alumni newsletter and post it only for them.
Increase alumni involvement and interaction when you add an unlimited number of alumni to the system. When members graduate, don't delete them, just mark them off as alumni and continue to stay in touch.
Easy to Use
GIN has a customized look and feel and is easy to use and update without special computer skills. GIN can be integrated with your chapter website or used as a stand-alone system if you already have a site you love. Need a website? Let us build a new custom website for your group in just 4 weeks.
Easy to Manage
Chapters designate the officers and administrators who can post and edit information. Administrators can add, update and delete users as needed.
