Works Cited:
1. Lee, Ivey. Personal Interview. 4 Nov. 2012. I wanted to find out more about being in an organization of any kind. I knew my roommate was in a sorority so I decided to interview her about some rules and regulations her sorority upholds. Also I wanted to break the barrier between the stereotype people give "sorority girls" and find out what she personally thinks it means to be one and what her opinions on the stereotype are.
2. Harms, Sebastian. Personal Interview. 4 Nov. 2012. I wanted to see the different aspects of fraternity life coming from someone inside the system. Finding the differences between being in fraternity life and seeing what its like to maintain a position in that organization is what I thought was most interesting in this small interview.
3. Sunset driving home from UNCC. 24 Oct. 2012. Personal photograph by Nicole Pacitti. JPEG fil. This picture was taken on a road to get to my house from the college. The sunset was turning colors and I really wanted to capture the moment.
