The social club process began on Saturday, Aug. 28, with less regulations for COVID-19 than last year. With the 2020 fall semester being wrought with cancellations and restrictions, those who have club leadership roles continue to see the accommodations required to work around the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Logan Light, the newly appointed director of Student Life, has set only one guideline: All food and drink must be prepackaged. This stark change in restrictions from the 2020-21 school year has offered a return to normalcy for the social clubs on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCOVID hasn\u2019t really impacted the recruitment approach,\u201d sophomore Alayna Griffith, a recruitment officer for women\u2019s social club Ko Jo Kai, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some social clubs are taking recruitment to other stages. Senior Ty Carger, recruitment officer for men\u2019s social club Sub-T 16 estimated that not only has potential new member attendance returned to normal, but it has also grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf there are guys interested in Sub-T 16 that aren\u2019t comfortable in big crowds, we try to take them to lunch or to play volleyball,\u201d Carger said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several clubs have taken to providing a QR code at each event for students to scan and enter their name, email and box number. This QR code is sent to those currently in quarantine or isolation to give club members a way to stay connected with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Junior Bonnie Spann, recruiter for women\u2019s social club Pi Theta Phi, said the year of COVID-19 related changes has provided a new perspective on the recruitment process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter taking different approaches to our recruitment style last year, we were able to see the most and least effective aspects of recruitment for our club,\u201d Spann said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
