Sorority Excuses

Clear, consistent and fair for every member.

Every excuse in one place

When a member can’t make a required event, she submits her excuse right from the event in Chaptara. Leaders review every request in one place, respond with a note, and the decision is reflected in her attendance automatically. Members always know where they stand, and your standards team spends less time chasing paperwork and more time supporting the people behind each request.

What's included

  • Excuses in the app

    Members submit a reason and supporting photos right from the event, before your chapter's deadline.

  • One review inbox

    New requests and appeals together in one place, easy to search and sort.

  • Decisions with a note

    Approve or deny with a personal note, so every member understands the decision.

  • Proof when you need it

    Ask a member for documentation before you decide, without losing track of the request.

  • Standing excuses

    Excuse a member from a recurring event over a date range, like a weekly lab that conflicts with chapter.

    Approved excuses count automatically in attendance and good standing.
