Ghill is the home base for your chapter. Everything your organization already runs on, in one place, for every member. EVENTS See what's coming up, RSVP, and check in when you get there with a QR code or a photo. Can't make it? Submit an excuse right from the app and your exec board sees it. CHAT Channels for the whole chapter and direct messages for everyone else. Share photos, mute the conversations you don't need, and report or block anyone who's out of line. ANNOUNCEMENTS Exec board posts land as push notifications so nobody misses the thing that actually mattered. ELECTIONS Apply for a position, vote when polls open, and follow results as they come in. POINTS Check your standing any time and request credit for what you've done. BIG / LITTLE Pairings and family trees, so new members can actually see where they fit. DESIGNATED DRIVERS Who's on shift, when, and how to reach them. NOTIFICATIONS YOU CONTROL Pick exactly when event reminders show up, anywhere from a week out to thirty minutes before, and turn off the categories you don't want. Ghill is private to your chapter. An account tied to your organization is required, and everything inside stays between members.
