What’s the backup plan for recruitment in August?

[TXDG]

Texas A&M announced today that 100% of recruitment will be virtual. My Rec girl is concerned and thinking about waiting until her sophomore year.

I hope Panhellenic at least considered moving formal recruitment to spring when there is a better chance for in-person rounds. I can’t imagine making a lifelong commitment to a sorority where I’d never met any of the members in person - or extending a bid to a whole class of PNM’s you’ve never been in the same room. Requires a lot of trust on both sides.

I may be wrong, but I think the thinking against moving everything to the spring is that they expect (even more of) a spike during flu season.

TCU has yet to announce dates.

UT just announced that PNM's need to do a video introducing themselves and all rounds are virtual (including possibly pref if it's not safe to do so).
