Family tree
The family tree visualizes your chapter's big-little lineage going back generations.
Where to find it
In your sidebar: Family tree.
You'll see the tree starting from the chapter's founders, with members linked by big/little relationships. Click any node to open that member's profile.
A multi-generation family tree.
Find yourself
Use the search bar at the top of the tree, or click your avatar in the top-right and choose Find me on tree.
Navigate the tree
- Drag the canvas to pan
- Scroll to zoom
- Double-click a node to center on it and expand its branch
- Click a node to see member details in a side panel
Show / hide alumni
Toggle Include alumni at the top of the tree. By default, the tree shows everyone — alumni, current members, and past pledges.
Family lines
Each independent family lineage is colored differently to make them easy to follow visually.
What you can edit
Members can't edit the family tree directly. Big-little assignments are set by chapter officers (usually during big/little reveal events).
If something is wrong on the tree (missing ancestor, wrong big), tell an officer:
- They can edit relationships from Org → Members → [member] → Relationships.
Empty tree?
If the family tree shows nothing, it usually means:
- Your chapter is new and no big-little assignments have been entered yet, or
- The data was never imported when your chapter migrated to GreekManage.
Officers can manually create the lineage by editing each member's "Big" field. CSV import can also populate it in bulk. → Member CSV import
