One season as a regional advisor. Four chapters, one group hoping to charter, eight organizations to choose from — and a year that will test your judgment more than your knowledge. This page walks through all of it.
By May, three things get judged: whether the expansion group earned its charter, whether every chapter finished the year above water, and whether headquarters still returns your calls warmly. Underneath sits a quieter score — Legacy — tracking what this year will be remembered for.
Pick your organization (more below — this changes everything), your advisor archetype (the Diplomat, the Builder, the Steward, or the Counselor, each with a signature move you spend once), your season length, and how hard a year you want. Difficulty moves morale decay, income, chartering thresholds, and how sharp a crisis response must be to earn the best outcome.
Each pack carries its own vocabulary — an NPHC-style intake never once says “rush” — plus its own recruitment mechanics, constraints, random events, and two signature crises authored for that community with dignity and range.
Hateful flyers blanket the quad where the chapter tables. Weeks before charter review, the colony's mezuzah is pried from the doorpost.
Campus police are called on a step rehearsal in a room the chapter reserved. A nine-year after-school reading program loses its space.
Recognition suspended under a new all-comers policy. A president's father passes mid-semester, and the whole job becomes showing up well.
A video mocking noche cultural spreads overnight. An hermana quietly plans to withdraw over a family financial emergency.
Anti-Asian graffiti appears during finals week. A brother collapses at intramurals — and preparation buys the six minutes that matter.
A public event's RSVP list fills with hateful anonymous accounts. A brother is outed to his family and his housing collapses.
A heritage-rotation dispute spills into a public comment section. The university tries to consolidate every cultural space into one room.
A rooftop photo goes viral the week a Greek-life review is announced. A new member is injured at an event nobody registered.
A custom training game carries your actual terminology, your policies, and crises drawn from your anonymized case files.
A month opens with a briefing, delivers its scripted event — a crisis, an inquiry, a contract, a dilemma — and about half the time adds something random from a pool that never repeats. Then come your four or five action points: visit a chapter, run a care circle, fund a retreat, hold a standards workshop, chase alumni money, plan a social. Points spent, you close the month; morale decays, income lands, the calendar turns.
The lesson hiding in the loop is triage under scarcity. Five chapters want attention and four points exist. The chapter you skip in September is the one whose crisis finds you in February.
Choose a tone — care, steadiness, or naming it plainly — and the tone decides which first moves exist. Pick a partner to stand with. The next-morning follow-up rewards covering what your first response skipped, and strong outcomes explain their own reasoning in writing.
An allegation arrives. Six possible conversations, room for exactly three, hidden evidence weights. Choose well and the chapters write their own answer before anyone demands one.
A contract with one bad line in it — an auto-renewal trap, indemnification shifted onto undergraduates, a grant item a 501(c)(3) legally cannot fund. Find it and strike it, or meet the consequence next month.
Venue, guest plan, safeguards. The combination weights the night between one people mention in March, a fine evening, and a Monday with a letter attached. Good parties exist here, on purpose.
Card-based bid decisions for most organizations; a two-phase interest meeting and nationals paperwork check for others. Watch for the candidate whose file carries a note.
Three donor tables. Bank the pledge or press for double, twice at most — a failed press settles small while the donor goes to find their coat.
The Concept Session maps which competencies your advisors need most — then the game teaches exactly those.
Every chapter president carries a three-stage story that advances when you visit — the reluctant leader, the overextended one, the quiet builder, the inheritor. Members hit real walls: grief, money, distress, the sophomore class that came of age on screens. The winning paths always run through connection — campus counseling, family, mentors, presence — and getting help is framed as strength, every single time. Wellbeing content stays supportive and non-clinical by hard rule.
The expansion group faces its charter review: enough members, morale above the bar, and three milestones earned across the year. Three season objectives set your title, and Legacy sets the tier — from A Year Among Many up to Etched in the Chapter Room. The recap card lists the leaders you raised and the pivotal moments the season will remember, ready to copy and share.
Everything above ships today, free, in a browser — terminology fidelity across eight communities, care-first crisis modeling, contract literacy, and a self-report culture baked into every strong path. A custom training game takes the same engine and authors it around one real organization: your vocabulary, your policies, your hardest weeks.
