GreekCore brings day-to-day chapter life into one place. Members can see announcements and events, respond and check in, join chapter conversations, review dues, sign chapter documents, follow meals, work on projects, and access files and albums according to their chapter permissions. Officers can coordinate the same chapter information from GreekCore's web tools. Features vary by chapter and role. GreekCore is not a bank. Payment, card, and banking services are provided by Stripe and its financial partners where a chapter has enabled them. Member safety controls include reporting supported content, blocking and unblocking members, a deterministic text filter, and automatic file checks before album media is published, plus staff review of reported content. GreekCore targets review of safety reports within 24 hours. A GreekCore account and chapter membership are required. Sign-in uses a one-time code by phone or email; available factors are determined by the account and Clerk environment.
