10/5/2014 Historicizing a project memo and peopling a project memo done started getting together information for the first chapter which will be like a quick intro to greek life bc most people reading this will probably be unaffiliated and there are a lot of terms that it'll be easier to just use without having to explain them every time

10/15/2014 past week spent doing annotations and memos found a lot of good sources that i feel are relevant and helping flesh out a theoretical framework really think i should focus on the works of a jon foubert for policy and education prevention programs and then sanday about the cultural societal factors really interested in her rape-free and rape-prone theories tie that into rape culture also using the literature about low and high risk fraternities (rpi did a study similar to this, use data????)

so basically asking frats and sororites questions re: rape culture and then looking at policies and see if theres a correlation between low rape culture and certain policies and then using that data to inform policy recommendations through the use of fouberts analysis of educational programs

so if i was to like divide my thesis in half i would do like this semester on rape culture and policies and then next semester like well this is what i found now here's what you should do about it

11/4 wrote survey draft talked to panhel last night talking to ifc tomorrow
