Customer Testimonials
Jordan Kirschner
Delta Upsilon President, Central Florida Chapter
"To give some background, about a year ago, we had issues with chapter attendance at events and having brothers' generally uninformed. We were holding our regular, weekly meetings and using a chapter-wide email group, but as our fraternity grew, it was tough to make sure everyone always knew what was going on. We signed up for Tatango last September and haven't looked back. We've been using it for a full semester now and couldn't be happier. We are one of the largest chapters on our campus, with 120 brothers, so it can be tough to get ahold of everyone when needed right away. We still use the traditional email group, but the texting service has been a great addition to our communications. Since signing-up with Tatango, attendance has more than doubled at events (socials, philanthropies, etc.). Not to mention, our brothers are very satisfied with the new, very effective way to be kept in the loop. It's, by far, one of the best decisions our chapter has ever made."

"This is the best solution possible, the interface is simple and efficient. Tatango has vastly improved our communication, event attendance is up 30% overall and we couldn't be happier! The staff is awesome as well, they are always there to take care of me - whatever I need! I would recommend Tatango to any group looking to improve their communication."
Brad Jackson
Head Basketball Coach, Western Washington University
"We've relied heavily on Tatango for the past couple of months to stay connected with all of our players when they are both on and off campus. Tatango makes staying connected simpler than ever before, I send one message directly from my cell phone to all of the players, and instantly they know about any changes in practice times, game day schedules, etc. Thanks Tatango!"
