What’s the backup plan for recruitment in August?

Arkansas Panhellenic requiring a one minute video and a 200 word essay as part of your registration. https://uagreeks.uark.edu/panhelleni...l/recruitment/
(scroll down to points 8 & 9).

WOW!!! My daughter is an active chapter member at UArk & didn’t know about this....I think that definitely points to the first round (or two?) being virtual.

Agreed, and it makes my head hurt thinking of parents actually thinking they should hire in hair, makeup, videographer, video editor, college essay editor, etc... to make this part of it perfect. I have already heard of people talking this way - it's going to be a mess and not at all what they are intending.

I have heard this too. I can't imagine how many girls will do all this hoping for the "bid of their dreams" and actually, so much at Arkansas is related to connections. And then after Bid Day, people will complain and freak out because they'll say the sororities pre-chose their pledge classes.

Auburn is also requiring a video to be sent in with the registration. They posted about it on their Instagram story last night.

Maybe though if there are no big upticks of infected people, hospitalizations, and deaths after all of the mass gatherings happening this weekend online won't be necessary. Just trying to be hopeful life will go back to normal sooner than we think.
