1. The setting of my field site is my sorority's suite. Our suite is located in the Woodworth dorm complex, in one of the many study lounges. Although it's in a study lounge, it is in no means your typical study place.. meaning there's lots of couches and tables, maroon walls, lots of fluffy pillows, tons and tons of owl memorabilia and pictures of us, everywhere. There are huge Chi Omega greek letters resting up against a shelf full of picture frames and owl sculptures and other owl stuff that we carry around on Bid Day, to our Chi Omega events, and take pictures with. When I first stepped into the suite, I felt so awkward, probably because the first time I ever went in it was during recruitment and 90+ people were shoved into this little room, listening to others talk and trying to scream over them to hear the girls talking to you for rush. But now when I step into it, it's a complete different feeling. I feel safe there, comfortable, and can totally be myself, no matter what.
2. My fixed position doesn't really change the suite at all or the interviewee, we always feel comfortable in the suite and since we're sisters, we can talk on a familiar, not so serious tone unlike that of a real professional interview.
3. When I interviewed the three girls I interviewed, they were all very comfortable and lively in their responses. Each girl was very honest with their answers and I could tell in the tone of their voice that they weren't being fake or felt like my questions made no sense or that it was silly to be answering them. They were polite and sincere which I really appreciated.
