CASE STUDY

At look at how people within a single fraternity or sorority are connected with each other and how this fits into the whole picture of the Greek Community.

ALPHA GAMMA DELTA

In the case study of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, I started with me as a single person to map how I am personally connected at every level of the community structure. At first a girl becomes a pledge and is part of a pledge class. To become connected with the sisters, each girl is given a big sister through which she is connected in a family tree to other girls in the house. Finally, at initiation you become fully part of the sisterhood and the Alpha Gamma Delta Community. With this status you are automatically associated with the Greek Community. However some individuals and some houses feel more connected with the overall Greek Community than others.
