SHARING OUR SISTERHOOD

Experts have been projecting college enrollment to decline by 15% between 2025-2029 due to the country’s birth rate plummet after the 2008 financial crisis. While it’s still a few years away, college admissions offices and Panhellenic recruitment pools have already begun to feel the start of what is called the “Enrollment Cliff.”

Thankfully this obstacle has a warning label, and we’ve been preparing for it for the past few years. But the COVID-19 pandemic came by surprise. Now, the Sorority is working hard to ensure the double dose of obstacles in the year ahead isn’t a deadly threat to our future.

We’ve never been in a situation where we had to potentially rely on recruiting totally virtually or with social distancing guidelines in place, so our team is creating ways for chapters to leverage technology to develop relationships with potential members.

We’re continuing to add invaluable programming to our robust lineup of educational initiatives. These programs equip chapters with the tools they need to ensure AΣT on their campus is a safe and positive place, in turn attracting more women who share our values.

Through the summer and fall, we’ll be launching marketing pieces, introducing young women across the country to Alpha Sigma Tau.

Tell the young women in your life about how Alpha Sigma Tau enriched your life and encourage them to join a Panhellenic sorority, even if AΣT isn’t on their campus. alphasigmatau.org/recommend
