NEW SISTERHOOD PLATFORM!
Due to feedback we've received regarding Onyx Access/GreekTrack, we will be transferring to a new sisterhood platform called Greektory. It is imperative that all sisters sign up and get started in this app to get acclimated and stay in touch with sisters across the country!
Why should I switch to Greektory?
- Once we have completed transferring to this application, we will be collecting dues and forms on this platform. It will eventually be required to pay your dues (for now, we still use Onyx Access to collect dues, but you will be notified when this final transition happens).
- You can search OPC sisters by location (city/state), career field, crossing semester, and chapter to allow for better networking opportunities!
- You'll be able to create polls in your chapter house to get to know chapter sisters better.
- The National Board and Alumnae Association are able to circulate information regarding national events (like Omega Weekend and Founder's Day Events) so you never miss a notification!
- You can share pictures, flyers, and videos with your chapter sisters.
- It's a very app-friendly platform. You'll be able to conduct OPC business or connect with sisters on the go!
To get started:
1. Download the Greektory application from your app store.
2. Click "Sign Up" and create your profile. Please be sure to use your sisterhood email for creating your account!
3. Search for your chapter's 'House' in the 'community' section. If this does not work for you, you may also reach out to an undergraduate member of your chapter so they can send you a link that will add you to the chapter house.
Please reach out to me at secretary@omegaphichi.org if you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this!
