Observation #12 Greek life at the Bar
I was able to do some observing both Thursday night and Friday afternoon on Greek life. For first time I observed the fraternity guys from a view that was one where I wasn't an employee but instead just a another member of the group. Unfortunately neither of the two days the turnout was not outstanding so I was limited in how much I could see but i did notice a few things. One thing that I gathered was that the fraternity guys did certainly hang out with a wide range of people but at variuos point they would always make a poin to gather and meet back up with their fraternity brothers. They would always come together and leave together. In more depth I listened in on some conversations. It was mostly talk about the upcoming brackets and NCAA tournament. Some was about cocktails and events to come later in the semester. Similar phrases and jokes were said by members of the corresponding fraternities. I would say some and relate some but many wouldn't be approriate or make sense to the reader. Dress was of course similar but that in my opinion has little to do with Greek life. The Greeks also seemed to be the center of the party, they knew the most people and were the most social. At times some were well-behaved other times they were the ones on tables or chunking a bottle against the road. I want to observe a fraternity this weekend late a night to make better judgement concerning my hypothesis reagarding Greek life affecting the behavior and social life of poeple.
