Websites for sorority & fraternity chapters
Your chapter's whole story, under your chapter's roof.
A private site your members actually sign into: the big/little family tree back to your founders, events with RSVPs, a photo gallery, and consoles your officers run.
- Live in about a week once your roster is in
- Sisters or brothers, your letters and your colors, on every page
- Your data is always yours, with a full export any time
Your chapter's words. Your chapter's colors.
Every site is set up for the chapter that owns it: sorority or fraternity, local or national, whatever your council.
Chosen once, before launch
Every page, console and email follows it.
| Sorority | Fraternity |
|---|---|
| Sisters | Brothers |
| Sisterhood | Brotherhood |
| Recruitment | Rush |
| Alumnae | Alumni |
| New Member Educator | |
Tap one to repaint this page. Your chapter gets your own colors, set during the build.
Everything a chapter is, in one place
Not a brochure. A working member portal your actives and graduates sign into.
The family tree is the heart of it
Every member since your founding, big to little, line by line. Drag, zoom, and tap a name for their card. New members find their place in the story the day they're initiated.
-
Members-only portal
Roster, profiles and a discussion board. New accounts wait for officer approval.
-
Events & RSVPs
Recruitment, philanthropy, reunions and meetings on one calendar, with reminders.
-
Photo gallery
A private feed of chapter photos, sorted into albums.
-
Officer & admin consoles
Approvals, invitations and permissions. Buttons, never code.
-
Email that reaches everyone
A monthly digest and announcements, with one-click unsubscribe.
-
Mentoring & the map
Graduates offering help, actives asking for it, and every member's city on one map.
Consoles your officers will actually use
Approvals, invitations, permissions and the email digest are all buttons. When the e-board turns over, the next webmaster inherits a console, not a codebase.

The demo chapters are fictional, every name invented. Yours gets your letters, your crest and your roster.
Go on, drag it.
This is the family tree every chapter gets: every big and little, back to the founders. Drag it around, pinch to zoom, tap a name to follow the line.
Want to see yours? Send us your roster and we'll send back your chapter's family tree within 48 hours. Ask for yours →
A fictional chapter: every name here is invented. Yours is built from your own roster.
Two ways to build it
Both are the whole platform. The difference is who does the loading: your officers, or us.
You load it
The Chapter Portal
From $2,499 setup
then from $100/month for hosting, security and support
We build and host the site. Your officers fill it from their console, with buttons, not code.
- Members-only portal, roster, profiles and discussion board
- Events with RSVPs, photo gallery and email digest
- Officer & admin consoles for every job
- A roster worksheet and a step-by-step guide for loading the whole tree at once
- Your letters, crest and colors, on your chapter's domain or an address we provide
We load it
The Legacy Build
Quoted from what you hand us
plus the same monthly plan, from $100/month
Everything in the Chapter Portal, and we do the loading. Hand us the roster, boards, awards and photos through one form, and the site arrives finished.
- Everything in the Chapter Portal, plus:
- The family tree built back to your founding from the roster you hand us
- Past executive boards, awards and your photo archive, sorted by era
- Nobody touches a console until launch. Then it's yours, with the same tools and guide
Every build includes
- A free 30-minute walkthrough
- Your own isolated database + one-click full export
- Officers set up and trained
- A security review before launch
- Phone-first, light & dark themes
- No per-member fees, ever
Setup from $2,499, then from $100 a month. Your exact quote comes out of the 30-minute walkthrough, in writing, and your rate is locked once you sign. No per-member fees, no contract term.
Your data is yours. Actually.
Most chapter software rents you a page and charges by the member. We run the machine, and you hold the keys.
One monthly subscription
Servers, monitoring, security updates and a person who answers. From $100 a month, month to month, with no per-member fees.
Your data stays yours
Member info lives in your chapter's own database. Nobody mines it, nobody sells it, and only people your officers approve can see it.
The door is never locked
Export your roster, tree and records in one click, and ask us any time for the full photo archive. If you ever want to run the site yourselves, we hand it over into your own accounts, for a one-time $750.

Who's behind this
ChapterRoots is one brother, not a platform company. I built this for my own chapter first, 350+ brothers with every line back to the founders, because our story deserved better than a group chat that deletes itself.
Then I built it so every chapter's site speaks that chapter's language. A sorority's says sisters, recruitment and alumnae on every page, and wears your colors, not mine.
I do the walkthroughs and the builds, and when you email hello@chapterroots.com, the person who answers is the person who made it.

Fair questions
Why does a chapter need more than Instagram and a group chat?
Those are great for this week and useless for thirty years. Instagram can't show your founder's line, and a group chat deletes itself. The portal is the permanent layer underneath, owned by the chapter, not by an app.
What does it cost?
Setup starts at $2,499 and the monthly plan at $100, covering hosting, monitoring, security and support. Your exact number comes out of the 30-minute walkthrough, all-in and in writing. No per-member fees, no contract term, and your rate is locked once you sign.
What happens when our webmaster graduates?
That's the problem this exists to solve. Officers run everything from consoles, so the next e-board inherits buttons, not a codebase. Handover is one training session, not a semester of archaeology.
ChapterRoots is one person. What if something happens to you?
Fair question. Your site runs on Cloudflare and Supabase, not on anyone's laptop, and your officers can export everything any time. If ChapterRoots ever stops, we move the whole site into your chapter's own accounts free of charge, so it keeps running without us. That's written into the agreement.
Is this really built for sororities?
Yes. A sorority's site says sisters, sisterhood, recruitment and alumnae everywhere, in the consoles and the emails too, and it wears your colors. See both demo chapters side by side.
What about our national or council's rules?
The site is your chapter's private space, separate from national and council systems. Locals, nationals and every council fit, and we review any branding rules on the walkthrough.
Is our member data safe?
Each chapter gets its own isolated database with row-level security, bot-protected sign-in, and security reviews before every launch. Your data is never shared between chapters or sold.
