It will probably come after the fraternity's purchase of the new data/records management software this year. The current system will no longer be receiving support after this year from the vendor and it is very old. So old that financial, membership, organizational, etc data are on different systems. Its part of the reason that HQ is slow in responding at times. They have to go intot two different systems to correct the rosters that we send in and then change what chapter owe. Theres a whole 'nother system for insurnace and such. This new system will integrate all of that into one system and allow undergrads to handle their paperwork via web interface. Gamma's and Alphas will be able to do rosters on-line and the financial stuff will be updated automatically, chapters can apply for premium insurance credits instantly, etc.
This will free up staff for other projects. As I understand it many current staff hours are devoted to data entry.
I would imagine the new site would debut after that. Jason Pearce currently spends a lot of his time patching, fixing and keeping the old system afloat.
