Interesting that they're still planning to host a hybrid recruitment. Does anyone think that parts of virtual recruitment could last long after COVID is gone? Perhaps the virtual portion isn't even replacing rounds but somehow is included in addition to the traditional recruitment process to allow more interaction between sorority members and PNMs prior to decision making?
Just a thought.

[If someone with better computer skills than I will please link the Carole Jones item into this thread, I'd be grateful!]
Is memory serving correctly that one or two GreekChat members served NPC on its Access Equity Advisory Committee [or AEAC] and if so, might they please chime-in with their thoughts.

Constant vigilance.
I remember reading that there were internet issues at several school last year-Bama and FSU for sure.

In all seriousness the only way a virtual first round would work is if they make all the rushees come back to school and sit in their dorms. In case NPC missed it one of the more stressful things about the pandemic was the fact that a lot of people live in areas with crappy internet service.

If it is just the first round that is virtual, the PNMs will have to be on campus. There would not be enough travel time for those who did not live adjacent to campus to arrive for the in person 2nd round.

From what I've seen from several universities, early move in and recruitment orientation take place in the same week.
