- Establish weekly recruitment committee meetings over a virtual meeting platform. Use this as a time to clean up your potential new member list and add more names to it.
- Continue to work your PNM list and engage them! During this time, digital interaction is important. Conduct member interviews through video chat or text message, play an online video game together to interact, etc. Most importantly, make sure you’re staying in touch with PNMs throughout the time you’re away from campus. Don’t let your momentum slip away.
- Extend bids via Facetime or video call. Mail or email a bid card, and follow up to get him registered. Call PNMs to follow up on their decision and to continue to engage with them on a regular basis.
- Since there may not be in-person aspects of chapter operations to involve him in right now, set up time virtually for the chapter to connect. Try and educate them on the fraternity and chapter and gauge their interest in varying roles in the brotherhood.
- Retention is challenging, so staying connected is key! If members are able to keep strong friendship ties and find value in Sigma Pi during this time, they’re far more likely to return to the chapter in the fall.
