Summer coronavirus outbreaks at Greek organizations have led to calls on social media for bans on fraternities and sororities.
These are the sorts of scenarios people such as Cait Kirby, a doctoral student studying genetics at Vanderbilt University, imagine while they’re quarantined at home. Kirby has gone a step further andin which hypothetical undergrads, graduate students and professors try to navigate a prestigious college campus with varying success. In one scenario, a student may catch coronavirus if he fails to wake up in time for his allotted bathroom time.
Universities will have to contend with changing the flow of traffic through dining halls while worrying about whether students who participate in Greek life follow social distancing rules. They’ll have to contend with the possibility of disciplining students who repeatedly flout regulations to avoid the spread of the disease not only on university grounds but off campus as well.
Another problem: Rosaasen said dining halls usually can run efficiently because they have students come to them. That won’t be possible for students in quarantine because they have COVID-19 or have been exposed to the virus. Dining staff will have to develop delivery plans for potentially hundreds of students.Greek chapters have cropped up as a challenge for some college campuses.
“The target is on their back,” he said. “And they understand that they don't want to be the ones who are blamed for a campus having to shut down this semester.”
