Recruitment Mini-Series 4: Is It Worth It To Join a Sorority During a Pandemic?

In today's mini-series episode we share our thoughts on whether or not it's "worth it" to go through recruitment during a pandemic. With most campuses either partially or fully remote for fall 2020, organizations like sororities that are traditionally based in social interaction and in-person bonding face a serious issue. With a large portion of normal sorority operations from ceremonies, to live-in member capacity, to Bid Day, sisterhood events, and recruitment itself moved to online-only forums, how sorority women interact with each other has drastically shifted due to the pandemic. How does that impact potential new members? Is it still worth it to go through recruitment when so many of your new member activities will be strictly over Zoom? Should you just wait to go through recruitment in spring 2020, or wait for a form of informal recruitment like COB? (Don't worry, we'll define what COB means in the episode, too!) Join us as we tackle all of these questions and give our advice for fall 2020 potential new members!
