Note- fewer women registered this year, but retention throughout the process was better, so quota is the same as last year.

Students with actual Virtual Recruitment Experience please chime in, because I can only speculate:

Is virtual recruitment more relaxed and intimate, meaning stronger personal bonds are formed between students before bids are issued?

Or perhaps the lack of experiencing strong on-campus favoritism by students toward/against specific NPC groups means PNMS have formed no bias against 'weaker' and 'newer' campus chapters?

It's great retention at IU is up on a more limited registration number, and I'd like to see that continue. Perhaps successful Covid19-style recruitments, even after they no longer become necessary (vaccines), would keep retention percentages improving on certain high-stress rush campuses.

It seems like it would be useful for situations such as schools like Syracuse that have recruitment in January, so everyone's not having to trek around campus in the cold and snow.

Even if they just use it for Round 1, that would help a lot since the PNMs are going to every chapter. Then they can start visiting the houses in person in Round 2 or 3, once it's narrowed down to the chapters/PNMs that are considering each other more seriously.
