My topic is going to be centered around Greek Life, primarily looking at whether or not members of the Greek community, specifically sororities, found it to be beneficial to their college experience or not. I'm going to send out a survey to women in a chapter here at Iowa and ask around ten questions, some of which may be the following:
- do you feel that being involved in greek life has influenced your academics in a positive way?
- do you feel that being involved in greek life has made you feel more connected to the university?
- do you feel that greek life has better helped you understand philanthropy or community service?
- do you feel that diversity is present in greek life, and how has that changed your views on the community?
- educational sessions provided by greek life have helped me develop more life skills
- I am proud to be a part of greek life at my school
- I am happy I joined the greek community
This topic is important because greek life is something that is very controversial and especially at Iowa may have some negative connotation. I think showing how the members feel and react to certain standards is crucial to the development of the Greek community.
1. I believe that the topic is narrow enough as it focuses on a targeted audience (greek life) and maintains a fairly clear focus.
ReplyDelete2. I think they're pretty specific, however there aren't very many open-ended questions.
3. I believe so, the survey is the best method to collect data on the opinions of students in greek life
