Think Global, Act Local

Your alumni are everywhere. Don't let them drift into disconnected WhatsApp silos. CampusAlly empowers you to build official, branded Regional Chapters and Affinity Groups that keep data centralized and engagement local.

What is Alumni Chapter Management Software?

It is a decentralized community platform that allows universities to create sub-groups based on Geography (e.g., London Chapter) or Interest (e.g., Entrepreneurs Club). It gives "Local Admins" the tools to manage their own members and events, while the central Alumni Office retains full visibility and data ownership.

Decentralized Administration

Give power to your volunteers without losing control.

Role Based Access

Local Chapter Admins

Empower alumni leaders to run the show.

  • Role-Based Access: Assign a "Chapter President" who can post news, approve join requests, and creating events only for their city.
  • Member Approval: Let local leaders verify if a new joinee is actually in that city.
Geo Fencing

Geo-Location Mapping

Visualise where your alumni footprint is.

  • Live Map: See a heatmap of alumni density. "We have 500 alumni in Dubai—let's open a chapter there."
  • Auto-Suggest: When an alumnus updates their city to "Boston," the system auto-suggests joining the "Boston Chapter."

Community Engagement Tools

A professional alternative to noisy social media groups.

Discussion Boards

Discussion Boards

Focused conversations, archived forever.

  • Threaded Discussions: Topics like "Job Openings in London" or "Accommodation Help" stay organized, unlike endless WhatsApp chats.
  • Content Moderation: Auto-filter keywords to keep the community professional and safe.
Micro Events

Micro-Events & Meetups

Coffee meetups, Sunday brunches, and networking drinks.

  • Quick RSVP: Chapters can host informal gatherings without needing approval from the main university office.
  • Gallery: Chapters can upload photos from their meetups to the central university feed.

Chapter Management FAQs

Can chapters collect their own fees?

Yes. Some chapters charge a nominal "Chapter Membership Fee" to fund local dinners. The system can handle this via split payments or central collection.

What about "Affinity Groups"?

You aren't limited to cities. You can create groups for "Women in Leadership," "Civil Services Aspirants," or "Founders Club" that span across geographies.

Does the central office verify content?

You can choose. You can set it to "Auto-Approve" to reduce workload, or "Moderate-First" if you want strict control over what is posted on the boards.
