ThetaConnect, Kappa Alpha Theta’s member platform hosted on Gravyty, is a thriving community of more than 13,000 collegians and alumnae who connect with peers, explore career opportunities, participate in events, and more. One of the group’s mentoring programs, Thetas in Higher Education, facilitated meaningful connections between experienced professionals and those just starting out in their careers.
To boost program engagement ahead of National Mentoring Month in January, Theta’s engagement team leveraged Gravyty’s integrated video messaging tool to send out personalized videos inviting alumnae to participate in the program. The videos achieved an impressive 60% watch rate, with the emails featuring the videos reaching a nearly 40% click-through rate.
