- During Rush, freshman are faced with the difficult proposition of getting to know various MIT fraternities.
- There is usually a time constraint that reduces the amount of time each freshman can visit each fraternity.
- During their visit the freshman may not be able to meet and interact with each brother of the house.
- When not around a computer freshman only have a small book that includes a list of all activities from all fraternities.
- Fraternities like to give house tours to each freshman, but these tours usually go very fast and do not provide an in-depth look at the whole house.
- The brothers of Phi Kappa Sigma have the issues of maintaining the houses integrity and dealing with personal scheduling problems.
- The house manager must manually assign, send out, remind, and verify all house jobs. This is very time consuming.
- Brothers often forget to do house jobs or tell the house manager that a job has been completed.
- Schedules often conflict over the use of common house areas and resources.
SkullWeb is a website that aims to solve the problem faced by freshmen by providing virtual house tours, brother profiles, and a concise Rush schedule (optimized for mobile viewing). For brothers, the site will provide a centralized and automated system for scheduling and verifying completion of house jobs, complete with an email reminder system. A reservation scheduler will also allow brothers to reserve common house areas and be notified of upcoming reservations.
