Fieldworking notes
As a fieldworker studying the fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon, I decided to attend one of the more popular events that take place. In a survey I noticed that a majority of people thought that is what Fraternities are all about. Only a few people said differently and a majority of them were actually members of frats. My main focus of frats is to try and break the stereotype that people including me, think that only thing frats are for is to party. Seeing as a majority of the people, and myself feel this way my work is cut out for me. So in attending the stereotypical part of the fraternity it was exactly how I expected it to be. Loud, crazy, full of drunk people, and sometimes annoying. I look forward more to finding out what the other side of the frat is really like.

It's pretty rough that the first event you attended proved all of your thoughts to be true. I know a lot of frat guys though and I can say that they aren't all the same. You're going to have your 'party people' with any group you study. Hopefully you can find out what you want about Sigma Phi Epsilon and see a good side. Maybe you'll want to join when you're finished!
