Chapter Of Alpha Omicron Pi - 1410 Words

Preface: For my subculture, I decided to do the Beta Zeta chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi, also known as AOII, because I became a sister in the fall of 2015. Although I have spent nearly two semesters with the sorority, I still have a lot to learn. Due to my lack of knowledge, there are many assumptions. My first assumption is about the leadership council of Beta Zeta. I presumed the girls in charge of the chapter were elected because of popularity. I also believe the leaders are running for the sake of their resumes. Another preconception I have is that sororities do not promote leadership. As far as â€Å"bigs† go, I considered them as a friend inside the sorority, not a leader, which is another assumption of mine. A â€Å"big† is an older sister in the sorority, who decides to become a mentor to a newer, younger sister. The younger sister is known as a â€Å"little,† and any question she has or guidance she needs is directed towards her â€Å"big.† I would like find the true meaning behind both being an officer on the Leader’s Council and a â€Å"big.† I look forward to what my research will find. INTRODUCTION: A series of observations, interviews, peer-reviewed articles, and surveys taken as field notes will be the primary sources to my research. The order of the paper will go from the history of AOII to discussing leadership inside AOII, to challenging the idea of â€Å"bigs† being considered a leadership position. To begin my research, I formed some critical guiding questions. My first was based offShow MoreRelatedEssay On Diversity In America846 Words   |  4 Pagesedu/about/quickfacts).
