I don't think at this stage, "more technology" is the answer to any of our problems in Greek Life. It all comes down to recruiting and retaining the right people. There are vast options already in place as far as technology goes--from Greek Life sponsored recruitment apps to simply making smart use of social networking.

Technology is a great tool, but it can also be a crutch. Sometimes books are better than web apps. Sometimes just getting to know potential recruits over a lunch is better than creeping their social media profiles. I kind of resent someone using this as a free focus group for them to develop their next app, but it's a nice potential discussion.

I believe there are multiple options for just about every technological need which we have Greek Life. Having a coherent strategy for the use of technology as well as an understanding on when not to use it is much more important--and I'm sure there's no app for that.
