What’s the backup plan for recruitment in August?

I work in off campus student housing and I'm started to get nervous that despite the initial plans to bring students back to campus, that these rising rates may push more schools in the direction of Southern California and going to remote learning.

I can't image what this will look like for Greek Life but I can't imagine a socially distanced recruitment or new member period.

Read over the weekend that there is thought to having college football take place in the .... spring. Yep, spring. They'll observe what happens with NFL teams playing this fall and buy more time for things to slow down, especially on a college campus.

Perhaps pushing recruitment to spring might be best. Even with some campuses doing all-virtual rush, you'll still be challenged by chapters packing in a ton of girls into a meeting or hanging out in a room or whatever.
