Thoughts and observations on virtual recruitment

[newtotheu]

I found virtual recruitment so much more disability friendly. I physically could not have spent all day/night in a crowded, hot room with a lot of standing. I also wouldn't have been able to hear one girl try to talk in a room of 100 girls talking at the same time.

I missed out on decorations, literally running 'home,' and some of the memories that in-person creates. But I doubt I would've had the health/confidence/etc. to do in-person.

I really like the idea of virtual first round. Saves lots of time, plus everyone avoids the heat and sweating and exhaustion from that.
I DON'T like the way they did it this year - PNMs submitted a one-minute video of themselves addressing certain questions that the sororities supposedly watched, and the PNMs watched a video for each sorority.
Lots of PNMs felt like the sororities didn't both watching their videos. They felt slighted because they didn't meet anybody nor get a chance to answer questions.
I liked the version used in 2020, with Zoom sessions between a PNM and a small group of sisters. PNMs could meet sisters and ask questions, and there's the chance the sisters will discover an otherwise-missed gem.
