Greek+Life

Erika, Rebecca NOTE FROM MS. WENDT: WIKIPEDIA IS FINE AS A STARTING POINT, BUT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTABLE AS A SOURCE--YOU WOULDN'T CITE AN ENCYCLOPEDIA AS A SOURCE (UNLESS YOU'RE IN FIFTH GRADE) SO YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO USE WIKIPEDIA EITHER--IT IS A VIRTUAL ENCYCLOPEDIA. SO YOU'LL NEED OTHER SOURCES THAN THESE--PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED HELP. WIKIPEDIA SHOULD LEAD YOU TO SEVERAL SOURCES.

I've met so many people, and I've made so many friends, and it's cool that I always have someone to chill with. Why did you decide to join greek life? Dave -I wanted to be more involved on campus, and I thought going greek would be the best way. I knew it would be fun. In what ways has greek life been most beneficial to you? Dave -Well, I've become alot more outgoing. I've made so many friends that I probably would have never even met, and I've had alot of opportunities to become more involved around campus and the community. Conducted 2-8-08 by Rebecca.

Interview with Amanda Carlson of Phi Sigma Sigma, conducted by Erika Sherwood 2/8/08 How long have you been a member? Amanda: About 1 semester, I joined during the Fall Semester How has being Greek affected you? Amanda: I'm more involved and I've gained so many more friends. It's opened up my ideas of many people and groups on campus. What's the best part of sisterhood? Amanda: Always having people that you can count on. I have 55 sisters, which means at any point during any day, I have 55 girls that will be there for me if I need them. What do you think when people say you're paying for your friends? Amanda: I honestly don't think I've been told that, but a friend of mine says that if that's true, she's not paying nearly enough. Have you noticed that the stereotypes of Greek life are more or less true on AC campus? Amanda: Less true, I don't think they are completely untrue, because we are college kids and there are people that like to go out and have a good time. But for the most part the Greeks rely on eachother for support and charity, not partying. Would you recommend going Greek to others? Amanda: Yes, because I think it's important to meet new people as often as possible; and when you're Greek you're faced with so many more opportunites to meet people. Also, it's a great networking tool for once you have graduated because you have a base of friends that may have a connection you could use.
