It was Worth Every Penny After going through fall formal recruitment for sororities and finally joining a chapter, I always get the same repeated questions from peers about why I wanted to join a sorority. There are two main ones that I get, “Oh, did you join because you like to party?” and “Why do you feel like you need to pay for your friends?”. Being the younger sister in my family I saw my sister go through her four years at Oregon State and a big part of her experience was being a part of Greek life. Her experience in Greek life made her time here at Oregon State complete, and from seeing that I had known that I wanted to be a part of that as well. When going through recruitment, yes, at times I was overwhelmed and had wondered if it was really something that I had wanted to be a part of or if I was a true “sorority girl”- which by the way I later find out doesn’t exist. But at the end of the day I remembered that I would have a home away from home and that was the most important thing that I could have during my time here. Change is easy for some, but it definitely is not that easy for me. I wanted to find a way that I could build a home in a new environment. No I did not want to join a house because I like to get drunk every week, and I also did not join because I thought it would be an easy way to buy my friends, I joined for a bigger reason. I joined because I love this Corvallis community and want to help it the best that I can. And that is what my chapter, Kappa Alpha Theta’s philanthropy is doing. CASA or Court Appointed Special Advocates, appoints an advocate for children going through the court system whether it be getting adopted or getting away from their detrimental families. Our chapter helps raise the money to fund those CASAs. But the chapter that I am in is not the only one, every single chapter that is located on this campus whether it be fraternities or sororities, help the Corvallis community. I am in a sorority because I feel that we women support each other during such a day and age where there are such high societal expectations on women and I wanted to have a support system. This support that I have found was given to me through the lovely sisterhood that is my chapter. Besides the philanthropy, another benefit of being a part of a chapter is having that sisterhood support. Within the sisterhood is the Big and Little system where as a new member you have a “big” sister. Having a constant “big” and someone that you can always go to is so comforting, especially during such a dynamic time in our lives. And yes I could have found that in other people around campus but this support seemed more constant for me and who I am. This is not a piece to influence you to join Greek Life, because it is not by means for everyone, but I am here to tell you that the people that do join are not paying for their friends or joining to get drunk every weekend, we join for much more. When joining a chapter members do not just stick to their own philanthropies, we help everyone out. Greek life is a way to join together as different chapters to be something bigger than ourselves for something much larger than ourselves. And for those that insist I am paying for my friends, well so far, it’s been worth every penny. Glasses. Sperry’s. Backwards hats. Flannels. Button ups. T-shirts. Dresses. All of these have one thing in common: they are a type of accessory or clothing, right? One would think so, but when put on a human being, these simple clothes and accessories become more than mere objects. Instead, they become different ways of defining people. Think about the last time someone looked you up and down and said, “Oh, I didn’t think you looked like someone who did that.” Since as long as anyone can remember, human beings have always assumed certain things about each other based on outward appearances; something that is referred to as stereotyping. The girl who wears those glasses must be smart and the guy in button ups and Sperry’s must come from money because of what he wears. Why do we do this? Some would argue that it is a survival instinct. We decide who is and is not a threat based on what we see in their outward appearance. Others say that it is because we need a way of seeing who to talk to and who not to talk to. However, a lot of it has to do with how we as a society like to fit people into categories. Now, some of this is not necessarily hostile in nature. Stereotyping is often a method of identifying certain groups, but where it becomes harmful is when it is used to assume things about people without truly getting to know them. When stereotyping is used as a means to prevent regular human interaction and discovery about other people, it inhibits the ability to make real connections with people. Not to mention that stereotyping someone based on their appearance alone can lead to mistakes about who that person is that could be potentially hurtful or make the person stereotyping look bad. Every person is a very unique and different individual, so it is unfair to define a person and place them in a box just by appearance alone. Attempting not to stereotype and judge people, however, is a difficult task to ask of anyone. Many people stereotype every day, not even necessarily on purpose. It is important though that we keep in mind that individuals are more than the objects on their bodies. Some different ways to combat stereotyping is to withhold judgement of people until all the facts are obtained. Get to know them, have a conversation, and you might find out that they are more than meets the eye. For example, the next time you see someone dressed a certain way and begin to think biased things about them, stop yourself and try to instead make a point to talk to them and learn something about them. You never know, you may even find a new friend because instead of assuming things about them, you took the time to get to know them.

Article 1
In the article, the introduction is one that catches the reader’s attention. The aspect of
describing or providing the reader with something catchy that provides a sense of
curiosity is particularly important. However, while I expect that there is an introduction
to the topic in the first paragraph, it comes in the second paragraph. It does not exactly
help follow up the strong start to the article.
However, in preceding paragraphs, there is good flow of ideas in each paragraph.
The main topic of the article is on stereotypes who judge others based on their dressing.
The author does provide not just one-sided view to the topic, but provides the negative
and the positive perspective on the topic. The author says, “Stereotyping is often a
method of identifying certain groups, but where it becomes harmful is when it is used to
assume things about people without truly getting to know them.” The aforementioned
statement is a good example to the view the author brings. The issue of biasness is
eliminated, as the author does not simply focus on one side of the issue.
I particularly like the way the author does appeal to the audience. In particular, the
author is not naïve not to recognize how hard it is for human nature to prevent
stereotyping and judging other people. The example, “attempting not ...
