CLIQInvite in use

During my Freshman spring semester at UNC, I joined the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. I was thrown headfirst into the UNC Greek Life event ecosystem, which used wristband security, similarly deployed by Greek Life nationwide. My movie-like anticipations of Greek Life were shattered, spending hours every week distributing wristbands that were easily fungible.

During the summer, I told my close friend from high school, Mark Alink, about the broken process during a late night poker game. That night, we came up with a solution: a digital system to replace old event processes. CLIQInvite was born.

After one semester of operation, CLIQInvite was helping fraternities nationwide run events smoothly and securely. This case study tells the story of how I, a Business student with no previous development experience, simultaneously built and sabotaged a tool that seemingly solved every fraternity's biggest problem: liability.
