Chapterly is a private, all-in-one management app for fraternity and sorority chapters. Create your chapter in seconds, invite members with a join code, and run everything from one app: • Group chat with per-channel posting permissions, polls, and photo sharing • Shared calendar for chapter events, synced to members' own calendars • House points tracking with transparent totals and a dispute process • Member directory with contact info and roles • Whiteboard for chapter announcements • Push notifications for messages, events, and points activity Each chapter's data is completely private — only approved members of your own chapter can see it. Built for chapter officers who want less spreadsheet chaos and more visibility, without handing chapter data to a public social platform.
