VIRTUAL FALL RECRUITMENT
by: ):If you havent heard already, Tennessee, and other SEC schools just announced their sorority fall recruitment will be completely virtual from start to finish. With our recruitment being the largest in the country, it only makes sense we are soon to follow.

While I do think greek life will continue here at UA this fall, I think its safe to say its going to look a lot different. I just highly doubt the school is going to let any fraternities register any events with more than 250 people, which means events cant really happen. No bid day, no tailgates most likely, virtual recruitment, etc. These are some tough, and scary times for everyone. But, it is important to keep in sight of what is important. We are living in a pandemic and unfortunately, greek life, is not a priority for the administration currently.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Why take an extra year to graduate and lose all your motivation to go to school? Big baby.

Because, especially if school ends up online, it’s not worth all the money to attend from out of state. Your grades probably won’t be as good in online classes (I know I don’t learn very well that way personally) which would hurt your gpa and on top of that you’d be missing out on college experiences that you’ll only get once. If rush goes online, there’s a chance that school will too since some classes have hundreds of kids in them, so I’m considering a gap year too if that happens. There’s nothing wrong with that

Because you only get four years at college and plenty of people are not interested in doing one of them online?? Gap years are totally normal in plenty of countries around the world. Not sure why this comment drew such judgement

Classes are easier online unless you’re lazy. Education actually gets you somewhere, unlike sorority life.

Like what? Sorority life is great and I wouldn’t trade it for anything, but how does it get you anywhere?

Online classes being easier is cool and all except that means you’re probably not learning anything. I totally understand why people want the on campus experience.

Everyone that downvoted my comment about struggling with online class, you’re ignorant. I promise you engineering classes are not easier online having to teach yourself. Try teaching yourself calc, differential equations, thermodynamics, etc. while not being able to get the help you need, and then tell me online classes are easier🙄

Most people in my house have had internships for very different companies. Rarely, if ever, does someone get a job based on their sorority’s “connections.” It’s not that simple. You sound like Brad, Chad, and Thad from Theta Chi. “Brooooo we have so many connections, so we don’t even have to study.”

Why even bother studying or applying for a job/internship when your sisters can do it all for you through “connections?”

I have connections, but I don’t just rely on them to bail me out. Ever heard the word “entitled” girl?

Wow! Looks like you have the golden ticket. Good luck in an interview with your attitude and sense of entitlement.

No one’s saying connections do ALL the work but they absolutely can and do help. The only thing you need to get your resume to the right people in the hiring process is a good connection and that can absolutely be a recent alum, a chapter advisor, or (the big one) a parent of a sister. Some people think it’s unfair or lazy or whatever but 🤷🏻♀️

The “big one” is a parent of a sister? You have to be joking, right? The trust fund babies have been unleashed on Greek Rank!

Who said I was jealous? I doubt you have a 4.0 to go along with your connections like I do. Have fun relying on your connections until someone’s resume blows your’s away and they get the job.

This really is not a greek life specific conversation. I had a non sorority friend get in at an MBB bc her neighbor was in leadership there. Was she qualified? Of course, but they ensured her app went to the right people. Seems like you have a chip on your shoulder about greek life connections specifically which, idk what to tell you except connections can be formed anywhere including sororities and if you have them you may as well use them.

I have connections through Greek Life and through other organizations/people as well. You have a lot of growing up to do if your response to reality hitting you is that “you’re just jealous.”

honestly, taking a gap year makes sense, the economy is probably going to be terrible next year

And then do what? Have 300 girls all gather at the house together? No. It wont happen. The school is going to be releasing GUIDELINES that will state a ban on mass gatherings. It just hasnt be talked about yet.

No how about just the temp bigs and the PNM’s. Honesty if the state is the final phase by then gatherings of over 250 are allowed so why would it even matter?

Jesus think with your head. The school will not be responsible for allowing something like that happen. They just wont, as much as it breaks my heart Greek life functions are NOT essential and to keep the safety of our students a priority, they will do so as necessary

If they go totally virtual and take away an in person bid day this will finically hurt the university and the chapters! Many girls will drop , take a gap year and/or maybe even skip Bama all together to attend an instate school.

Unfortunately they do not have a choice. Health concerns are a top priority. If there was an outbreak on our campus this fall, they could get sued over it big time. They cant take any chances.
