In conversations with chapters at UConn, Indiana, Alabama, St. John's, and University of Jacksonville. App Store review in progress.
For Exec Boards
Treasurers chase Venmos. Rush Chairs lose context. Risk Managers can't prove an incident was reviewed.
Pillar fixes the seams. Recruitment, risk, dues, and attendance all run in one app instead of five tools and three group chats.
Recruitment, end to end
Pipeline, rankings, tags, bid day, and analytics. The rush CRM your chapter used to renew every fall. Built in, with PNM context that survives every round.
Risk forms & incident lifecycle
Risk Managers route forms through review states with full audit history. Push notifications on every state change. The paper trail nationals expect.
Dues, late fees & payment plans
Members pay in-app. Treasurer sets late fees, approves payment plan requests, and tracks every dollar. No Venmo screenshots, no spreadsheet, no chasing.
Attendance & events
QR check-in for chapter meetings and events. Live roster, automatic absence flags, exportable per member. No paper sign-ins, no GroupMe roll calls.
Side by Side
Already paying for a recruitment CRM, a dues platform, and a group chat?
Pillar replaces all five. One platform instead of the patchwork.

The Team
Built from inside Phi Delt.
An active brother and chapter officer who got tired of the legacy stack — and built the replacement.
From the Founder
"Chapters lose hours every week to scattered tools and manual work. I'm building one place for the whole operation."
Kachi Ike · Phi Delta Theta · Founder & CEO
An active brother of Phi Delta Theta who saw firsthand how chapters lose time to scattered tools, manual dues collection, and lost PNM context. Brings the operator's perspective to Pillar: leads vision, partnerships, and the chapter rollout.

What Pillar replaces
Most chapters renew a recruitment CRM, juggle group chats, and run dues by hand. Pillar covers all of it, plus attendance, files, and safety the incumbents don't touch.
Recruitment software
$300–$800
Per chapter, per recruitment cycle.
Group chat + scheduling tools
$10–$30 / mo
Across GroupMe, Discord, calendar exports.
Treasurer hours collecting dues
8–15 hrs / cycle
Spreadsheets, Venmo screenshots, manual chasing.
Mass-text + announcements
$20–$50 / mo
Twilio, SimpleTexting, or chapter-wide GroupMe sprawl.
$199 – $799 per chapter per semester, founding rate. Flat. Typically less than the recruitment CRM alone — and Pillar replaces the CRM, the group chats, the dues spreadsheet, the mass-text tool, and the compliance binder.
PNMs always free. Tiers by chapter size so a 30-person colony doesn't subsidize a 200-member powerhouse. Councils can adopt the umbrella and cover every chapter on a single bill.

Questions
Frequently asked.
What is Pillar?
Pillar is an all-in-one mobile app for Greek life chapter management. Chapters use it to run recruitment, collect dues, manage events, track service hours, handle compliance, post announcements, and provide safety tools to members. Potential new members (PNMs) browse chapters, attend rush events, and rank preferences through the same app.
How much does Pillar cost?
Pillar is free for PNMs. Chapters pay a flat per-semester rate by size: $249 (≤40 members) · $449 (41–80) · $649 (81+). Standard rates after the founding cohort are $399 / $599 / $799. Councils can adopt the umbrella for $900 / $1,400 / $1,900 founding ($1,200 / $1,800 / $2,500 standard), which makes the app free to every member chapter. Founding cohort caps at 5 chapters + 3 councils and closes June 30, 2026 or when filled.
Does Pillar replace our existing chapter tools?
Yes. Pillar consolidates the spreadsheets, group chats, and standalone tools chapters typically stitch together. One app handles dues collection, recruitment ranking, event RSVPs, service hour approvals, compliance acknowledgements, member communications, and safety check-ins.
Which schools are on Pillar?
Pillar is in App Store review now and onboards each founding chapter in 3 weeks. We’re in active conversations with chapters at UConn, Indiana, Alabama, St. John’s, and the University of Jacksonville. Book a 15-minute demo to claim a founding slot.
Is Pillar available for both sororities and fraternities?
Yes. Pillar supports both Panhellenic sororities and IFC fraternities, with chapter profiles, recruitment flows, and compliance tooling tailored for each.
What safety features does Pillar include?
Pillar includes an SOS button that texts a trusted circle, a check-in timer for late-night returns home, a fake call to defuse uncomfortable situations, an emergency contacts directory, and on-campus safety resources curated by chapter admins.
Who owns the chapter's data, and can we export it?
The chapter does. Rosters, dues records, attendance, rankings, and audit logs export as CSV at any time, on demand, with no support ticket required. If a chapter ever leaves Pillar, you take a full copy of your data with you. If we ever sunset Pillar, you get 90 days notice and a full data export.
What if our nationals object?
Most nationals don’t mandate a specific platform. If yours does, we work alongside the required tool. We don’t replace it. We’ll handle the HQ conversation directly.
What happens if we cancel?
$250 deposit is refundable up to launch. 60-day money-back guarantee from launch (full refund). After that, the founding agreement is a 1-year commitment. If you cancel mid-year, no refund on what’s prepaid but no further charges. Keep what’s been paid, no fight.
