This was a strange year with COVID (Washington has some of the strictest COVID laws in the country) and uncertainty as to in-person classes and what Greek housing would look like. As a result, the Greek Life Office said lot of women were hesitant to sign up for primary but are interested in COB. All chapters made quota (20 primary, 3 secondary) except for Zeta Tau Alpha (in their first year as an unhoused chapter) who matched 19 total, so it seems like PNMs during primary are still mostly looking for housed sororities, but I think Zeta has the potential be able to be very successful with COB and reach great women who aren’t as interested in having a house.
I think it’s hard to determine whether lower numbers are a trend now; we need a few more years of data points. I’m not too worried (yet) because COB seems to be very successful still.
