In my Chi Omega subculture thus far, I haven't done as much interviewing as I should be. However, I've talked to a few of the girls and they seem really excited to let their opinions be known in my paper. I know I want to talk to them about how they feel about the sorority and the stereotypes. I want to know if they've been stereotyped and what they feel about them. Also I want to know what being in this subculture means to them, if it's been a good experience, a negative experience, etc.
I've been in my culture spot quite a few times, I was there tonight actually. Our suite! Sensory details there are lots of comfy couches, maroon and gold colors all around, lots of pictures. There's a sense of sisterhood, we're all broadcasted around the room. Also, our mascot is the owl and there's so many cute owls around the room!
I know there will be lots of differences between academic and nonacademic research for me throughout this process, simply because I'm going to do lots of interviews. Not saying that they aren't academically capable, just saying that it's more of their own thought and not straight published books. I have tried the internet though for sources, and the Chi Omega website is a definite amazing research place for me to look!
