www.forgreeks.com is changing the image of fraternities and sororities
United States of America (Press Release) October 30, 2007 --
Greek Community:
Forgreeks.com is proud to present the finest online community dedicated to meeting the needs of fraternities and sororities worldwide. Our company has traveled the country to ask college Greeks and alumni what they expect from us, and we took notes!
After sitting with our staff, and months of reviewing notes, we were finally ready to launch www.forgreeks.com. We designed a network that is as fun as Myspace and as united as Facebook, complete with the capabilities of YouTube and Monster, but for Greeks only. This is why we are important to you.
During our college tour, there was a major concern with the level of spam and the number of false profiles on Myspace. We decided to resolve this issue upfront by allowing our users to monitor the site themselves. For example, a Myspace user in New York can easily steal a picture of someone living in Australia and post it on their page, along with a fictitious profile. This is a case of false identity; commonly found within other site. With www.forgreeks.com, it is required that all members post a picture of themselves on their profile, their organization and the year they joined. This dramatically decreases the likelihood of false profiles being created on our site. In addition, our members within these schools and organizations are encouraged to notify us of imposters and we will remove any profiles that we determine as false.
Jason Jordan, a fraternity member from Atlanta, Georgia told www.forgreeks.com that he joined his organization with the hopes of finding a “good job” when he graduated. He also stated that he was very disappointed when he graduated and found out how difficult it was to reach the alumni who promised to help him secure employment. We decided to provide a job bank within our site where Greeks can post job opportunities and give other Greeks a head start on the application process.
There was one response that stuck out the most during our questioning sessions. When we asked,
“What do you enjoy most about being a member of a Greek organization?” most Greeks expressed how much fun they were having. They really enjoy the sense of family and unity. In response to this feedback, we created an events section where members can upload videos, pictures, and spread the word about where the next party or Greek convention is located.
Come hang out with us on www.forgreeks.com. Come experience the fun! We are the premiere online community for college greeks and alumni.
