Fraternity Communication for Virtual Retreats
With the recent ongoing coronavirus pandemic, fraternities and sororities will need to find new ways to engage in fraternity communication while everyone is off-campus. Communication can be difficult enough while people are on-campus, so fraternity communication is sure to be even more tedious when members, chapter advisors, and the like are not only off-campus but are socially distancing themselves from one another.
