Annotated Bibliography

S, Fullerton . “What is Greek life?.” California State University, Fullerton. N.p., 20 Sept. 2011. Web. 25 Mar. 2013.

According to this page on Fullerton.edu, a group of men and women called sorority for women and fraternity for men. They are a community, offer fellowship, participate in activities and prepares you on your future. It also means you could give time and effort to help with philanthropy activities and service projects. You may also have to pay once your in a greek organization. I think this is a great use of my research project because it explains the good benefits of joining a greek organization. I think this is kinda credible just because it has .edu and looks like it was made by a college.

Mayfield, Julie , and Lindsey Mayfield. “7 Considerations When Thinking About Greek Life – Twice the College Advice (usnews.com).” US News & World Report | News & Rankings | Best Colleges, Best Hospitals, and more. N.p., n.d. Web. 25 Mar. 2013.

This article on USNEWS.com considers 7 reason to join a greek organization. Julie and Lindsey Mayfield talk about how it is good to join a greek organization. Julie had never been in a fraternity or sorority but Lindsey has. Julie says there is excessive underage alcohol drinking on school campus. So that’s a con of joining a frat or sorority. Lindsey says its one of the easiest way of meeting new people and provides opportunities to join events. This sorta help my research, mostly the pros of it. I think this website is credible because it was updated and wrote an article about it and those people seem real.

“7 ADVANTAGES TO GREEK LIFE .” Index . N.p., n.d. Web. 25 Mar. 2013.

This website on webmisc.onu.edu about 7 advantages to greek life. It shows that this can help you meet new people, having better academics, leadership, and other social stuff. That shows all the pros about greek life. I don’t really think this is a credible source because it doesn’t show where it got there information, no sources, no author, and doesn’t show where it was updated. This really didn’t help my research it had a bunch of stuff everyone and I couldn’t understand it.

Lucier, Kelci Lynn. “College Fraternities and Sororities – Should I Join a College Fraternity Or Sorority?.” College Life – Everything You Need to Know to Enjoy Your College Life. N.p., n.d. Web. 28 Mar. 2013.

This website on collegelife.about.com tells the reader about how greek orginizations help you find scholarships and connect to people after college. Like the alumni. It also tells us that some of these frats or sororities can make you pay a fee and you need to plan out your finances if you join. I think this is credible because it tells you the author and some of her sources. Tis was really helpful to me because this was from a real college and had many of my questions answered.

Staff, Petersons. “Should Your College Life Include Greek Life?.” College Information – Peterson’s – The Real Guide to Colleges and Universities. N.p., 28 Jan. 2013. Web. 28 Mar. 2013.

This article on petersons.com talks about sterotypes of how fraternitys and sorority do have parties but they also contribute to the college and help with academic activites. It also talks about greek life, housing, and rushing. I think this is a credible sight because it shows the author and they were in a fraternity or sorority. It also was updated recently and also tells more about the author.
