For my final project I observed a sorority here on campus. While studying the sorority, my goal was to find out what they really were like. Do they show the stereotype of a drinking, partying, unintelligent sorority? Or, is this sorority full of kind hearted girls who love each other and love to help out their community?
Before starting this project, I was extremely overwhelmed and did not really understand what I was supposed to do. But, in time I picked my topic, started observing and interviewing and finally got the hang of it. I really liked this project because it allowed me to see into a world that I was not a part of and I got to learn the stories of people I normally would not talk to.
Constructing my final paper was a little bit of a challenge for me only because I could not decide what information to cut out and what information I should keep. I ended up cutting out more information than I thought I would need to, but overall I am happy with the outcome.
When creating my website for my final portfolio, I had minimal problems and decided to devote 8 hours straight of my time to finishing it. I felt the motivation, so I took advantage of it while it lasted. I only had to move around a few things and add some things to fix the organization of the website. After rereading and perfecting it, I am proud of my final ethnography paper and my website.
