Meet The Greeks App at Purdue University

By admin on January 20, 2016

I loved reading this article in The Exponent this morning. Kudos to the Greek Community at Purdue University for developing a new app to make it easier for students to see what events are being held by chapters on campus during recruitment and helping potential new members to get involved. The investment in such an app is relatively minimal, but the payoff is big. I would love to see more Universities adopt a similar strategy.

By demystifying the process to get involved with Greek Life and going straight to their cell phones, Purdue is engaging their students in a vibrant part of student life. It really doesn’t surprise me to see so many loyal alumni coming from Purdue!
