The broad impact and influence of this paper would ideally be to influence policies and procedures that fraternities and sororities undertake. By reviewing the rape culture in fraternities and sororities based on their policies, I'm hoping I can create some sort of correlation between the two, which may inspire fraternities or sororities to adopt new policies or adjust their existing policies. Additionally, the study of rape culture in fraternities and sororities on campus at RPI at all will help bring attention to the problem and it may inspire others to eliminate it, or it may reveal that there is very little rape culture on RPIs campus which is positive for the campus community. Due to the fact that this is a year long paper, I can build on it next semester and add more policy suggestions and evidence, which may further bolster my argument and encourage fraternities and sororities to start adapting their policies.
