I noticed this at UWash
"COVID-19 outbreak along UW's Greek Row continues to grow"
"As of Sunday, UW officials say at least 112 fraternity house residents have tested positive for COVID-19, with nine additional cases in those who were close contacts to those infected."

Hazing got a little out of control...

Though we plan to invite every undergraduate student to spend a semester on campus, all undergraduates will have the option to complete the entire year remotely. As students consider their choices, they should bear in mind that the campus experience will be very different from an ordinary year. For example, most undergraduate teaching will be online rather than in person even for on-campus students. Many activities will be unavailable, impermissible, or highly regulated. Parties will be prohibited. Masks will be required in indoor spaces, including in all classrooms, laboratories, and libraries. Social distancing will be the norm. Travel will be limited. We will test students for COVID-19 when they arrive, and we expect to test them regularly thereafter. Isolation will be mandatory for students who test positive for COVID-19; quarantine will be mandatory for students who have been in contact with someone who gets COVID-19.

Thought about this a lot.  If I were between my HS/Sr. year and Frosh year in college, I'd take a gap year, no question, even if I had to reapply the following year.  I'd probably take a gap year if it were my soph or junior year.  Senior year, I'd probably hang in there, tbh.
