Williard 307: Annotated Bibliography

Decent Essays
cliques can be associated with where they live. That is Williard 307 and also the Senior apartment. It is very obvious because members will either hang out with residents of Williard 307 or the residents in the senior apartments. When I asked one of the member why did they hang out with the residents in Williard 307 and not with residents in senior apartment, he responded that residents of Williard 307 are less formal and more inclusive. While, residents in the senior apartment are more formal and most of them are also members of delta sigma chi’s corollary (Delt Guy). It is very natural when a new member who are not a Delt Guy to hang out with the resident of Williard 307 because they are more inclusive than the other. Even though, most of the resident of Williard 307 are Delt Guy they focus more on their fraternity and to them members of their fraternity comes first then other things. …show more content…
This is because almost all Rhos bud are member of Delta Sigma Chi sorority. This is very interesting because almost three quarter of the member of Rho Eta Delta fraternity are Delt guys. Thus, it is no wonder that the members spend more time with the Rhos bud because indirectly they are spending time with their Delt counterpart. When I asked the men why did they become a Delt guy, they told me that the reason why they chose to become a Delt guy is because they feel that by joining the corollary they became closer with their fraternity brothers. This is probably why new members who are newly activated would consider being part of the Delta Sigma Chi’s

    “Are fraternities acting in an ethical manner, requiring good behavior and punishing poor decisions? Or are they keeping a cool distance from the mayhem, knowing full well that it occurs with regularity?” (Flanagan).

However, author Caitlin Flanagan wrote “The Dark Power of Fraternities” published in 2014 in The Atlantic, and she argues all of the hidden flaws within fraternities that are often covered up.…

    “It’s not what it looks like”, this is what the majority of members of a sorority or fraternity would respond after being asked about Greek life. Why is that they feel like they have to say that? One word: Marketing. The way sororities and fraternities are portrayed to the public gives off a bad image and reputation about the members and their community. Any person who has not been part of Greek life and does not have any information about this community and its activities they would think sororities and fraternities are just a big house full of college people just having fun, drinking, and sleeping around.…

    The Real Experiment Everyday we see different places, different people, and different situations. It is their factors, similarities, or differences that change different settings. I have recently switched campuses from Flint to Owosso and was surprised by the similarities and differences they both offered. For this experiment, comparing campuses would be a perfect candidate. The norms, deviance, social movements, and social control of the campuses.…

    In the article “Gay and Greek” by Yeung and Stombler, the goals and actions of Gay Fraternities incorporated a blend of conflicting components that much of the time set its aggregate character being referred to. Mainstreaming procedures and restraining gayness in broad daylight space made an incomprehensible circumstance. The fraternity builds up a spot for gay men to turn out and have a fellowship that acknowledges them. DLP is designed according to conventional fraternities, however, rejects some customary practices. For example, hazing and sexual compulsion.…

    In Paying for the Party, Armstrong and Hamilton developed a theoretical framework, namely “college pathway,” to depict and interpret the differences of the college women’s campus experiences. Pathways are ways that constitute as instituted tracks that lead the individuals to go in certain directions.

    Before we step into the real world of college, we hear about all the different sororities and fraternities, what goes on, what they act like, and what they do. We all have seem to have our different views of what “Greek life” really is, but have we really observed the people and the things they do? Despite the ongoing stereotypes we hear about Greek Life on college campuses, being involved here at UCM seems to be very beneficial for not only the students, but the community too. Yes, there are true and false stereotypes for the different sororities or fraternities here at UCM, but if you take a look at what Greek life does around campus, you are able to see the different values they uphold and how they interact with everyone on campus. One of the most popular stereotypes you hear about Greek Life on campus is that, everyone in them is not in college for the education, they are just here to have a good time.…

    Members were part of different cliques in high school; the popular, jocks, nerds, criminals, and outcasts, which is seen in members’ individual stereotypes in the movie. Diversity is seen through characteristics including individual self-esteem, outward appearance, and socioeconomic status. Each member’s family background or unique clique they belong to creates an initial barrier to group formation, because the members feel they are different from one another. Through the group process, members can view their similarities with one another and move past their diverse…

    I am interested in membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., because of what Delta represents. To me Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. represents strong, educated black woman that are dedicated to improving their community. When I was a child I always said that I wanted to improve my community. As I grew up I saw how children from impoverished homes were not always exposed or given the opportunity to achieve a better life. That’s when I realized that we have to help our youth in order to see a change in our community.…

    I want to know what is it like to be in a more diverse community, comparing to my current school of only 800 students. Due to the size, the population forms many small pockets of social groups, which can be isolating. Although this community offers a wide array of different ideas and personalities, they are still very similar at their core. This leads me into why UW-M’s extracurricular activities interest me as well. Skimming through the massive catalog of clubs, I noticed that there were more academic-centered clubs than I expected- it seemed exciting that students could make connections with people both within and outside of their major while still learning about subjects that go with their academic interests.…

    Partying on the Weekend For my observation I went to a house party in town on Saturday night. It was a tightly packed house, meaning there were little rooms and a lot of people. The tight quarters in the house forces people to interact with one another. In order to move from one end of the house to the other some interaction had to take place. The party was slow until about 11 p.m. when a huge swarm of people started showing up.…

    In the mid to late nineteenth century college students started forming groups in order to discuss current events, politics, and other controversial issues. Students formed this after not feeling “challenged enough” by their classes and professors. As time passed fraternity groups formed all over college campuses. In the beginning fraternities only had white, male members. Today, they have expanded to include women (sororities) and minorities.…

    However, one way that Alpha Gamma Delta sets themselves apart from the other sororities is the way that they handle recruitment. According to Rachel, "Most of the sororities are materialistic. They judge and recruit girls based on their looks and their wealth" (Fulton). The sororities want to create the idealistic image of American Society. To create this image, rather than being focused on personality, they focus their recruitment process on the women that they view as beautiful.…

    For my field notes, I was a participant observer amongst a similarly classified group of people (fraternity life), in three different scenarios. The first scenario was at a Greek philanthropy event, hosted jointly by a fraternity and a sorority, with the goal of raising funds for UConn’s Violence Against Women Protection Program. My second experience as a participant observer was at an open fraternity party, meaning that any outside guests were theoretically welcome to attend. Lastly, I attended a fraternity date night, which is when each fraternity member can invite one date to the otherwise typical house party.…

    Juhee: Growing up, I was always afraid of silence. As a child, I was accustomed to the laughter and chattering sounds of my family members inside my house every day. When I walked out of my room, I heard pots clanging, rapid footsteps across the living room, and voices calling out my name. These familiar noises were the sounds of family that produces a sense of protection and inclusiveness. On the other hand, I dreaded the times when I was alone in an empty house, surrounded by silence.…
