Algorithm

These are the answers the assignment algorithm matches on when it builds groups and pairs accountability partners — ranked for your campus below. Changes here apply to future placements only; nobody already in a group is moved.

Recruiting

Events

Talks, socials, retreats — anything the campus should know about. Every published event appears in the app under the calendar icon, and everyone in its audience gets one reminder before it starts.

Students

Men who signed up through the Not a student? link on the signup screen. Until you decide, the app tells them their application is being reviewed and they cannot join a group. Accept lets a genuine non-student (alumnus, staff, seminarian) take part like any other member and emails him. Reject turns him away and emails him. If he is actually a student here who used the wrong link, choose Make student: he becomes a normal signup with no approval step and no email, and moves to the Roster.

Partner Reports

Members who reported their accountability partner as inactive or nonresponsive. Review a report to break the partnership, remove the inactive member from their group (they go back to the waitlist and can rejoin), and optionally pair the reporter with another partnerless member of their group.

This will break any existing accountability partnership.

Pair Accountability Partners

Pair Captain

A captain normally partners with one of his own members, so he sees the man he calls daily at every meeting. This pairs him with another captain instead.

Remove from campus?

Removing this student means:

  • They disappear from every campus list and count, and can't be placed in a group.
  • Their account is not deleted — their email and phone number stay tied to it, so they can't sign up again with them.
  • Only an Ethos admin can undo this.

If they're in a group, remove them from the group first (Group Management). If they've left Ethos for good, Delete account is usually the better tool — it frees their email and phone.

How the variable ranking works

When groups form on assignment day, the algorithm first tries to place each man with men who share his #1 answer. If he can't be matched on it (he answered N/A, or no group with an open seat shares his answer), it tries #2, then #3. The same order picks accountability partners inside each group, and lower-ranked variables break ties between equally good matches.

What should be #1? Whichever variable best predicts that men already know each other on your campus. If club sports teams are tight communities here, rank Club sport first. If life is organized around dorms, households, or social clubs, rank Living location first.

Class year is special. It matches by closeness (a junior is a fine match for a senior), so it always finds someone. That makes it the natural last resort, and it means any variable ranked below it only ever breaks ties. Leaving Class year last, which is the default, is right for almost every campus.

Nothing changes until you click Save ranking. Once saved, the new order applies to every placement from then on: the next assignment day, the men who sign up after it, and future pairings. Nobody already in a group is moved.

Import a recruiting spreadsheet

Upload an Excel file laid out like the recruiting template: one sheet each for Returning Captains, New Captains, Returning Members, New Members, Paper Materials, Group Chats, Announcements and Events. Rows already on this page are skipped, so you can import an updated sheet more than once. Board members are matched by first name and students by phone number or full name.

Report a Concern

Your report goes directly to Ethos National staff. If you're in immediate danger, call 911.
