Hypothesis 2.2

Fraternities are some of most exclusive groups that can found around a college campus. These fraternities are consisted of groups of brothers from all over the state and country that in their time at school become a tightly-knit group. All at some point will live with each other at the fraternity house. During the nights, these ones expose just how exclusive a fraternity can be. They all hang out mainly in their small groups and the sororities commonly associated with them. Most of this takes place without these brothers even knowing that they are residing in their own small community somewhat apart from the rest of the world. As one would expect too, these members or brothers spend so much time together that they begin to imitate one another. They begin to act their others in the fraternity until the house as a whole develops a unified or common lifestyle, personality, and attitude. This belief can supported best by observing the nightlife of these people at the bars.
I work at a bar, Pantana Bobs, every Tuesday and Friday night. Also I am a member of the fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta at UNC-Chapel Hill. By both being apart and observing the nightlife in college, I’ve noticed several parallels and regularities in Greek fraternity life. Certain fraternities will go to certain bars and at certain times of the night. Members of a specific fraternity will act and behave in comparable ways at bars whether it is the way they talk, how carefree they are, how violent they can be, how rude they can be, how playful they are, and in several other ways. Don’t be misled though that these common characteristics of these people are always negative. Besides this point, fraternities are a vital part of campus life and are partly responsible for molding young people into the adults they will be for the rest of their lives. My hypothesis is that fraternity members interact in exclusive groups and therefore behave similarly compared to their brothers in their daily lifestyles specifically in the nightlife setting at bars.
