Sorority lineage software

Sorority Family Tree Maker

ChapterLine gives sororities a dedicated place to map mentorship lineage, preserve chapter family history, export presentation-ready trees, and share public pages without exposing private member details unintentionally.

Built for chapter lineage

Sorority lineage has its own vocabulary and traditions. This page targets chapters looking for a family-tree maker designed for big-little relationships instead of general genealogy software or one-off design files.

• Map family branches visually by chapter, line, or pledge class.
• Customize family line colors with preset swatches or precise hex values.
• Export PNG, JPEG, or PDF trees for composites, chapter meetings, and social posts.
• Publish view-only lineage pages when a chapter wants a public showcase.
• Keep organizational continuity even as officers graduate or rotate out.

Alumni continuity beyond the active chapter

Legacy organization plans include an alumni dashboard where chapters can maintain profiles, link alumni to tree nodes, and surface LinkedIn or contact details for members who opt in.

Linked tree nodes can display an Alumni badge on the canvas so active members can see who has graduated into the alumni record.

Privacy-first public sharing

Public organization pages and share links are optional. Chapters control what appears on the public chapter profile, including whether donations and leaderboards are visible.

• Metadata-only public summaries are a safer default for search and privacy.
• Administrators review what is published before sharing URLs broadly.
• Archived trees can be preserved in read-only mode without accidental edits.

Designed for Panhellenic and multicultural sorority chapters

ChapterLine supports chapters that need one living archive for multiple family lines, officer handoffs, and long-running mentorship traditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a sorority family tree different from a family genealogy chart?

A sorority family tree tracks mentorship lineage inside a chapter, including big-little relationships, twins, branch structure, and alumni continuity rather than blood relatives.

Can public pages stay privacy-safe?

Yes. Public-facing summaries can stay metadata-only while the chapter keeps fuller editing access inside the application. Administrators decide what is published.

Can sorority chapters export trees for composites or presentations?

Yes. ChapterLine supports PNG, JPEG, and PDF export with custom canvas backgrounds, optional image backgrounds with opacity, and title or year text color controls.

Is the alumni dashboard included on every plan?

The alumni dashboard is part of the organization Legacy plan, which also unlocks unlimited trees, multi-admin access, archive mode, and Stripe Connect donations.
