(Inspired by this Apps Against Abuse challenge)
Name: Mount Olympus - Greek 4square like App
Goal: Turn potentially high-risk environments of sexual abuse (Parties at Frat Houses) into safe and accountable environments using social media
Target Audience: Fraternities and Sororities
- They naturally provide groups of college students with safe sharing environments
- Groups that Foster personal growth
- Built in measures of accountability (demerits, sister points, etc.)
- Family jargon (big brothers, little sisters, frats with sweetheart families in sororities, etc.)
How it Works:
- Allow Frats to print outQR codes to place outside of rooms or around party house
- Can print them in the colors of the fraternity (ignored by party goers but Brothers know what they mean)
- Party goers in other fraternities and sororities can check into various parts of the house
- Potential to facilitate competition by allowing sororities can win titles/mayorships of (meeting rooms, dens, etc.)
- Privacy can be set to only people in the fraternity or sororities at the party
- Data can be automatically cleared at the end of the part or password protected—Don’t have to be broadcast in real time
Benefits:
- Positive reinforcement that takes advantage of methods things that positively motivate you (your frat bros and sisters)
- Doesn’t assume that Men are going be rapists
- Gives a chance for those that want to participate to actively participate without feeling discouraged or forcing everyone to participate
- Potential for opt in Brother or Sister specific text reminders
- Gives Fraternities a method for keeping a tabs on what is happening during a party with actively compromising party atmosphere
If you’re a software developer I’d love to see what you can come up with :)
