Dyad Strategies' whitepaper explores five key trends that highlight the rapid shift in fraternity social culture at regional comprehensive universities in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Impact of Recruitment Timing and Structure on Fraternity and Sorority Chapter Culture
Dyad Strategies has consulted Gamma Phi Beta sorority from the very beginning. Gamma Phi was instrumental in the development of our sisterhood instrument. We've also been working together to analyze differences at the chapter level and qualitatively explore outlier chapters within their organization.
The Impact of COVID-19 on the Fraternity Experience: Three Disturbing Trends
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a disruptive force in American higher education. According the National Association of State Legislatures, more than 1,300 college campuses in all 50 states have shifted to some version of hybrid or fully remote learning during the last year. Almost all of these campuses placed restrictions on in-person gatherings. These restrictions impacted the traditional on-campus experience in profound ways, but perhaps nowhere were these restrictions felt more acutely than within campus fraternities and sororities. Significant restrictions were placed on the activities of these groups, which fundamentally altered the nature of the fraternity/sorority experience.
