After months of contending with the Abolish Greek Life movement, many Northwestern fraternities and sororities plan to continue with recruitment this winter.
Although NU’s Panhellenic Association voted to cancel formal PHA-sponsored recruitment this academic year, individual chapters are hosting virtual informal recruitment. The Interfraternity Council is also recruiting virtually. Previously, IFC allowed for small in-person events as long as they met University rules and kept contact tracing logs. In a statement to the Daily, IFC President Nick Papandreou
said the policy was changed this week to ban all in-person events until future notice.
According to each chapter’s leadership, Northwestern chapters of Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau are officially holding recruitment. Though other chapters are listed on the IFC interest form, they did not respond to the Daily’s request for a comment on whether they will recruit classes.
