New Member Education

Onboard new members with checklists, shared materials, and a private chat in Greek Connect.

As new member educator, you shape a new member's first impression of the chapter. Greek Connect gives you a structured onboarding program — an education checklist, a shared library of materials, and a private space to communicate — without living in a spreadsheet.

Build a new member checklist

Use tasks to lay out everything a new member needs to do, from signing the member contract to learning chapter history. Assign tasks to the New Members group so every new member automatically gets them, set a due date for each step, and require a file or photo upload where you need proof. Make weekly education tasks recur, and turn on approval so you can verify each milestone before it counts.

Share your education materials

Store your bylaws, new member manual, presentations, and study guides in Drive, organized into folders. Set each item's visibility so new members see exactly what they need — and nothing they shouldn't. Long documents can even be summarized automatically so new members get oriented fast.

Keep new members in the loop

Create a New Members channel that automatically includes everyone with new-member status, so questions and reminders live in one place. For must-read updates, post an announcement targeted to new members with a push notification so nothing gets missed.

Collect forms and sign-offs

Assign forms to your new member class to gather signatures, emergency contacts, or acknowledgments, and track who has and hasn't completed them.
