App Idea: Greek Database

It'll eventually be on iPhone and Android

I've been doing some programming practice over the last few weeks in my free time, and have been trying to come up with a few ideas for some apps. Then it hit me. Make an app that is a database of every fraternity/sorority officer at every school around the country. At first I was thinking, "Dang, that'd be impossible." But I think I may have come up with a way it could work.

First off, the app would start out as iPhone only. I only have experience in C-based languages (not that it means anything to most people) so I have no knowledge of how to program on Android...yet. Anyway, the whole database would be user-maintained. I personally don't have the time or resources to call every single chapter at every school and get their officer data. So instead, have the users enter their data. The people at each chapter obviously know who their officers are. So they enter their chapter's data, which then updates a database that I've created online. Then every person who owns the app gets the same data pulled to their phone when they start the app the next time. 

Think of it! If advertised correctly and widely adopted, the potential is staggering. Need to call your chapter and XYZ School. Before, you'd have to search online, hoping they had a site and that it was properly updated. But with this, you'd just pull it up right on your phone, and even make the call right out of the app! 

The only problem is the possibility that no one in a chapter has an iOS device (iPod Touch counts too). So really, once the iPhone version is working, I'd have to learn Java double-quick to get an Android version working because the more people that have it, the better it'll work.

That's my idea. Tell me what you think!
