New features! New features! Read all about it! No, but seriously, keep reading…

ChapterBoard is very proud to announce the launch of our new group text messaging system. With group text messaging, chapter execs can now message the entire chapter straight from their phone! And yes, it gets even better. Not only can you message the entire chapter, but you can also message specific groups within the chapter too. Need to remind your execs about arriving early at meeting? Forgot to tell the flag football team their game was moved up an hour? Need to coordinate the pledges for a surprise performance of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” at Delta Gamma’s Anchorsplash? Now you can without bothering the entire chapter.

And like everything else with ChapterBoard, group text messaging is completely free to use. Yes, we said free, as in you and your chapter don’t pay a penny. All we ask is that you spend the extra money on something worth while, like gold-plated rush shirts or a Muse concert at your philanthropy… and don’t forget to invite us either.

If you’ve been on ChapterBoard within the last 12 hours, and we certainly hope you have, you’ll notice a subtle change in the display. Along with the group text messaging, we also launched a new color scheme to the site. The new, less contrasting colors are meant to make browsing easier on your eyes and, let’s be completely honest, keep you on ChapterBoard longer. Yes, we’re utterly shameless and quite proud of it.

We hope you like the new features and continue to use ChapterBoard as fiercely as you have. If you have yet to receive a text message from your chapter please, for our sake and the sake of your chapter, tell your chapter executives to get their ish straight and start texting! And of course, if you have any questions, comments, job inquiries (yes, our team is awesome with a capitol A), or just want to obsess over the new season of Glee, contact us! And be sure to keep up with us here, on our blog, and on Facebook. October is going to be a very busy and exciting month for ChapterBoard, and not just because we love Oktoberfest!
