What is GREEKFLIX™ all about?
1. What is GREEKFLIX™ all about?
GREEKFLIX™ besides being the “hang out” spot intends to expand Greek Fraternities and Sororities by improving and sustaining the social development of all fraternities across the board to include professional, academic, service or honorary societies. GREEKFLIX™ is the New Greek Hot Spot for Greeks to set up their own website and network above and beyond the Greek Community.
2. How did this site come about?
Well, we love Greek life, and with thousands of Fraternities and Sororities websites, and different communities developing on blogs, network sites, we got tired of one searching for them all. Therefore, we decided to bring them all into one and create a community for all Greeks in all councils to unite. Thus, the start of our motto, “College.RushNow.Unite Forever.” In the spring of 2007, we started to capture college life moments on video. There have been great big changes in the way people shoot video, increasingly on small digital cameras instead of camcorders. GREEKFLIX™ started archiving and collecting videos recorded by college students to show memorable moments of their college Greek life days. Now, GREEKFLIX™ continues its’ mission to become the ultimate college reality TV Network, capturing clips of all college Greek events. Events to include community services, staff meetings, marathons, educational and academic programs; and let’s not forget the exciting Greek picnics, parties, boat trips, pool parties, senior balls and other social affairs.
