If you have been following my blog you will see a trend of soccer and Greek life posts. Well for my English class as a first year at Santa Clara University I have been doing research this past quarter on Greek life especially at SCU. Since 2001, the University has no longer recognized and affiliated themselves with Greek life as they expelled it after a hazing violation. The question I then addressed was whether after 16 years should the University and its Greek life reaffiliate. I determined that the general cons and the cons of reaffiliating outweigh the pros and it would be best for both students and the university to remain unaffiliated.
Yet my ongoing research and application does not stop there. Now I am translating my research thesis into a multimodel project. Essentially I have the option to frame my argument in another medium than a 8 page academic paper. The options we had to choose range from songs, audiobooks, podcasts, videos, letters, blog posts, Facebook posts, etc. but I ended up choosing to make a flyer. This flyer would theoretically be hung up around the Santa Clara campus in order to spread awareness about the situation and relationship between Greek life and the University today. I will post a link to the actual flyer once it is finished but I plan on having all of the Greek organizations’ letters at SCU as the background. Then there would be text about the different pros and cons to Greek life and then a conclusion box. I thought the flyer would be the best avenue to reach people as it takes little time to get the message while being able to be reach a good prospective audience.
