Families are a great way to divide up your larger chapter into smaller groups. Typically members with the same bigs and littles will be in the same family but this isn't always the case. Additionally you can rename the term 'family' to be anything you'd like so if you want to divide your chapter into 'houses' or 'teams' you can do this as well (to change the terminology of families go to Manage > Family Advanced Settings).
There are two ways in which you can add or remove someone from a family:
To add or remove a single member from a family
- Log in as an officer with the "Manage Families/Groups" privilege
- Type their name in the global search box to find their profile page
- Click on Open in Account Manager
- Click on the Family tab in the second row of tabs next to your chapter's name
- Select their intended family from the drop down list under Join a family and click Update
- To remove them from all families, simply select "No family listed" and click Update
To add or remove multiple members at once from a family
- Log in as an officer with the "Manage Families/Groups" privilege
- Click on Manage from the menu bar
- Click on Update Families under the Set up my chapter's website heading
- Either click on Create New Family or click on the edit icon next to an existing family to modify its membership
- Check or uncheck members here to add or remove them from this family
- Click Update family to save your changes
Now that you have all of your families in order you can review them all by choosing Brothers/Sisters from the menu bar then choosing View Families.
