now that i have changed my topic, my abstract would basically be:
Fraternities and sororities are popular student based organizations and known for building their members as well as pledges' charcater and personality. But the hazing practices that the pledges are forced upon during their pledge process is ridiculous and brutal. This brutality has often physically and mentally affected the pledges sometimes even risking death. one of the main reasons behind these rituals is often found to be the cycles of revenge that goes through each line over generations. All the members take out their anger with their pledge process on the new upcoming lines and this feeling of revenge continues making the pledging process harder than the last line which sometimes lead to severe consequences. One of the ways that probably could stop this cycle would be to properly educate the members about the limits and cautions in the pledge process.

blog # 14
My project has gotten much more specific over time but its not anywhere near to be considered a good research paper. At first when i was told to pick a topic for my research paper i didnt hesitate or reevaluated once what i want to reserach into. it came instantly to my mind i want to write about hazing. Being a part of a sorority myself i know what pledging is like and also carious hazing practices carried on throughout the process. it was a topic i could relate to the most. At this point of time i have most of my sources laid out. all i need to do is get my primary source with an OFSA worker and also put some pictures and use more of Nuwere Hank as he has written two detailed books on hazing with good interviews and pictures. i also need to edit some of the propoganda type of stuff and replace it with eveidences to bavck up my claims. my thought about the topic has changed not a lot but to a limited extent as my initial view on hazing was it is required and its has a meaning to it and i was confused between what should be done to prevent it and who is responsible. but now my ideas about the topic has changed a lot and has become specific as the only thing now that i focus on solely is the reasons behind hazing and how the urge to belong of the pledges make them bear and tolerate through all the ridiculous hazing rituals.the interviews of the pledges and their families given in Nuwer 's books gave me the best understanding of the topic. my own personal experiences, resent story of six sigma gamma rho sisters getting arrested has inspired me the most to write about this issue . i have learned that blogs do help it helpds you be more organized and not leave stuff till last minute. I have also learned that drafts even though rough and not actually graded should be taken seriously and handed in on time. I have learned to proofread the paper more than once after gettign my grade on analytic essay. i have learned how to give better titles and start the rsearch paper right on topic instead of writing out a broad propoganda about the topic.me as a writer sucks but i did like writing about this topic it was interesting.i can write good papers if i have good quotes, i just need a better vocab. and not repeat words.

Visual aids
This picture would be very helpful in showing how hardcore the hazing is not only in fraternities but sororities. From the picture it can be seen , a sorority pledge is wrapped up in duck tape all naked in the woods and probably got bullied and harrassed verbally and physically. It matches my thesis as whoever who sees this picture would say : why do pledges agree to being hazed if it entails this and also whats the value in it and what do greek lettered society get out of this?
This picture portrays the very known and popular hazing ritual of making the pledges drink, especially in fraternities. In my research paper i have provided stories of pledges who died because of extensive drinking and hence this picture is significant as it backs it up.
also the videos
1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs4Z6ekVlJ4: this video portrays a news story of pledging caught on tape and brutal beating of the pledges is going on in the fraternities.
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJdHpnvmZTw : its a documentary on how a innocent pledge was killed and interview of his mom and sister is also given. In addition it is a very influential documentary and gives out a very important message revealing the dangers of hazing

Blog #12 revision plan
I.As per my rough draft #1 i have to give a couple of hours to forming a better thesis and reevaluating and analyzing my research question and introduction.
nuwer Hank and his two books " Broken Pledges" and " Wrongs of Passage" are my two main sources that provide my supporting viewpoint.
Research question: why do fraternities and sororities allow to haze even though its illegal, what is the value in it and what can be done to stop it?
Thesis:( not final): Hazing rituals are most of the times responsible for serving its purpose of character development and enhancement the pledges' inner potentials, but brutal hazing rituals have led to numerous death incidents and severe psychological and physical effects on the pledges; despite the illegaity enticed in it fraternities and sororities still manage to haze and stringent measures should be taken against these brutal hazing practices.
II. First i would like to explain what the value in hazing, what are all the hazing rituals meant for? there must be something the pledges and the active members get out of these hazing rituals. The article : " whats right with fraternities and sororities " and also Grandillo's article " Social fraternities and sororities" provide me with the conclusion that Hazing is indeed meant to build the chracter and personality of the pledges and to test their strengths and weaknesses as well as capabilities.
III. Secondly, Hank provides counterpoint to the above given authors as he brings out the negative side of hazing. He provides stories of pledges who have died or have gotten seriously injured in their pledging process. Also, the news articles of the recent Sigma Gamma Rho incident at rutgers and also the star ledger article on the other pledges who have died and also the article " Black Greek Death Watch". ALong with various pictures i can provide atleast five examples of the impacts and consequences of hazing and what led it to be banned legally in almost all states.
IV. Thirdly, and lastly Hank provides answers to what should be done to stop hazing. Stopping hazing is quite next to impossible. As the law banned it , it is still done underground sneaked behind the doors. In this scenario what can the faculty, univeristy, law and the active members of fraternities and sororities do in case of the hazing incident being caught by the univeristy or state police. Hank provides things that can be done , stringent measures that can be taken not to stopp hazing because i dont think it should be stopped but in cases with severe consequences, if reported or brought to attention, are given.
Along with this i had another question if my title " urge to belong" corresponds well to my outline, and also i wanted to know how to post a video up and also if a member from OFSA at rutgers would be a good primary source.

Hazing is considered illegal but the fraternities and sororities still manage to take it underground and continue to do so therefore whether hazing should be allowed or done is out of questions. The debate falls between the rights and wrongs of these hazing rituals. Is hazing even though considered illegal, has any benefits to the pledges? and also questions like : can hazing in greek lettered socities distinguished amongst its advantages and negative consequences? My case would basically be to reveal that hazing is done regardless of its illegality, but extreme caution and limits should be enforeced on these hazing rituals in order to prevent death risks or other physical and mental dangers involved with the pledges' health. The debate in the previous post basically was is ther wrongs and rights of hazing and if yes who defines them but at this time I dont think personally that scholars whould be able to define the criteria that differentiates between good and bad hazing. My frame work is going to be based upon my new reserach question of why do college fraternities and sororities manage to haze besides the detrimental consequences or may be a question like every hazing ritual has a meaning and purpose to it, are these rituals intended to physically or mentally harm their pledges? the sources that would help ,e frame my case would be Nuwer Hank s book : ' Wrongs of Passage ' and the Star ledger article on the recnt Sigma Gamma Rho incident and also Michael Grandillo s article ' Social fraternities and sororities ' cited earlier in one of the blogs. Moreover, the interview that i will take with the OFSA officer could serve as a helpful primary source.

Blog # 10 The Debate
There are numerous hot debates on the topic of hazing especially at Rutgers after the recent hazing incident involving sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. My personal view on hazing is based upon my own experiences while i was pledging. Every hazing ritual has a meaning toward it and is supposed to be meant to bring out charcater development, time management skills, enhancement of team work and leadership potentials and also other personality development and networking skills. But hazing is considered illegal in most states, then what allows fraternities and sororities to still manage to haze their pledges underground? and negative consequences of these hazing rituals have been repoted and Nuwer Hank portrays all the people who died from hazing and the interviews iof their families and its effects on them. But is it every hazing ritual thats is hazardous to pledges' mental and physical health or is it just hazing rituals taken to extremes and not peromed merely to perform the long going tradition but as a source of entertainment. i need to get a source that provides a better phrase than " source of entertainment". Moroever another debate couled be raised as to question if hazing bad period, or is there forms of hazing: the good moderate ones that is not harmful and that can be acceptable and bad hazing which often damages the pledges' psychological and physical health and should be dealt with stringent measures.
blog #9 broadening research dimensions
so, not all the sources for the research proposal proved very useful. And moreover after the conference with the Prof. i realized there is much more to the topic of hazing. The debatable issues are: Is hazing pledges bad on the whole or is it bad if done for the hell of it ? as per my discussion with prof. i need to look for a source which i am in search for right now that can help me provide a good phrase into which i can search further and base my paper on. I need a scolarly source to provide me with the limits beyond which hazing should be treated with stringent measures. another debatable issue would be to clarify between bad hazing and good hazing and incorporate this issue in the actual research question of why do fraternities and sororities haze? yes , undoubtedly i am having trouble finding sources i have tried to search hazing in fraternities or sororities as my research phrase in ebsco, gale, iris pais, but i have collected a very limited number of sources . i have found very good news articles of incidents on hazing through google. news but i need to learn how to cite it and also was wondering if its considered a scholarly source. I am very satisfied with the topic chosen for my final research as i can relate to it very well, but the only problem that i might face in order to reach my final research paper drafting sessions would be finding good scholarly sources. i am very sure i want to interview one of the OfSA members as they have experience for years trying to teach fraternities and sororities not to haze. so hopefully over spring break i find all my sources except the primary source needed to finish start on my research paper.

Blog #8
My research question is why do fraternities haze and if the process and rituals are not unknown from anyone why do pledges get themselves into it ? I am using sources that first set up my paper talking about the general rituals and hazing stories that shows the negative consequences of hazing. Google.news provided me with the recnt story of six girls from sigma gamma Rho at Rutgers getting arrested for hazing their pledges and being responsible for sending one of their pledges to the hospital. Also, the article 'Black greek deathwatch' and the the book ' Wrongs of passage', portrays the risks and dangers involved in the unnecessary ritual of hazing which often damages the mental and physical health of the pledges of fraternities and sororities. On the other hand, grandillo Michael reveals the benefits involved in a fraternity and answers my question of why people decided to join fraternities even though they know the hiddden and dark secrets of fraternity and sorority rituals. Also Greek inside univerity. journal reveals the good things that one get from becoming greek and hence Michaela nd this journal provide a counterpoint as well as answers my first question of why do people decide to join a fraternity or a sorority. moreover, Ben O Donell provides a answer to my entire question and helps me formulate my thesis as he talks about in his article how hazing activities are criticized but students still dont hesitate to join a fraternity or sorority because at the end its all worth it and all pledges are allowed to drop anytime they cant bear being hazed during the pledge process therefore for all the risks involved the pledges who chose themselves to pledge and who are adults and have the right to drop out anytime they want shhould be held more responsiblt than the fraternities or sororities and it works both ways the greek organization should haze if done as a tradition or a ritual but not just as asource of entertainment and shouldnt be taken to extremes.

KIMBROUGH, WALTER. "Black Greek Deathwatch." Diverse: Issues in Higher Education 26.26 (2010): 21-. Print. The author ‘s work perfectly relates to my research question. The author provides stories of death after death of Alpha phi Alpha brothers and asks rhetorical question of will we stop the cycle? The author reaches out to administrators and legal systems to control illegal hazing strictly so the innocent deaths of pledges especially in black fraternities can stop. The author provides a supporting viewpoint to my thesis.

The author reveals stories of those killed and injured by fraternity and sorority hazing rituals such as mental and physical abuse, physical torture, beating, drug abuse, alcohol abuse and other harmful activities. This book portrays many interviews of families of those who died due to hazing related activities and provides evidence for my thesis of the harmful consequences of hazing

research question
my research questions are based on hazing in fraternities and sororities in colleges:
1. should colleges be more strict towards hazing and bullying carried on by the greek organizations?
2. If hazing is illegal, how do most greek organizations yet find it easy to haze and torture their pledges.
3. Why do people rush and pledge for fraternities and sororities knowing what they are getting into- hazing, bullying and toture until they cross?
4. Why do greek organizations have such high status while having a bad reputation at the same time?

blog #4 Rutgers Riot
i personally feel this website is very helpful to start you paper. Not just to start it but also to be kept in mind while looking for sources, while citing stuff and also to be kept in mind all way alng the process of writing the paper. i used the sections : Finding sources and identifying citations. it was very helpful as the section ' finding sources' gave an introduction to types of sources and examples ( primary, seconday and tertiary) and also the pros and cons of using each type of source , this is very helpful when it comes to what kind of sources to use when writing your paper. In the other section ' identifying citations' it gave a lot of information about how to cite sources especially differentiating between citing books and journals. it is a great teaching device as it resolves general quesries about writing paper and queries about what kind of sources to use, how to search for them and how to cite them which is basically teaching you how to write your entire paper. i dont know what more can be done to improve it. it is a great teaching device.
questions for librarian
even though i have already had a session with the librarian, i still had three question before i cam into the session that now are resolved:
1. how do u get a book that says checked in? ans. Recall
2. How to figure out where the book is depending the numbers and letters given in the book number under details in iris search? still unresolved
3. what exactly is ezborrow? ans.books that has electronic access
4. is it good or bad to use recent data and articles to write a book? ans. depends on your topic and how much time period do u want in order to narrow your search.
5. what happens after 28 days of keeping a library book with you? do they email you and warn you or just start charging you? ans. if someone recalls the book they ask you to return it but if you still delay then you get charged and warnings and if noone recalls it you can have it until they do the inventory. the library session was def. very useful as it answered most of my questions.

Blog #2: narrowing the the topic search but still unsure...
-well from my last post my topic hasnt changed i know for sure though i want to work on one of these topics but which one will take some time to decide.
- when i googled these topics :
1. For greek life topics i put in college greek life and vaious pillars of fraternities and sororities and the principles came up.
2. for the other topic regarding time management various websites expressing the how tough it is for collge student to magae their time and sites that gives tips to college students to manage their time efficently came up.
- when i used google scholar the results were definetely better than googe.com as it showed a lot of websites with positives and negatives of each topic and greek life is very highly related to alcohol and how good time management leads to good grades. google news is pretty useful as it shows personal stories which could be very useful to use in the paper as evidences. google books was significant too to get useful resources as there are plenty of books that you can get on each topic. youtube was not as interesting as we cannnot use it to quote in papers anyways its good for gaining knowledge but not useful in papers. personally i feel like google news would be most useful as its a really good form to back up my point with eveidences from other people's perosnal stories.
- i got a lot of ideas about greek life after all these searches and it definately narrowed my topic search as i am more lopsided towards writing on the topic of greek life in college as i got a lot of search results showing the negatives of being greek, bad reputation of greeks and positives of being greek and also how hard it is to be a greek and a student
-1)http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=11966005: this site was very useful as it portrays the bad rep. of greek life and how most of the drinking goes on on the frat road in most colleges and universities. its a article abouut most parties gettign hosted by greeks on campus.
2)http://njitvector.com/2010/02/10/greek-member-spotlight-ivette-rodriguez/: on the other hand , this site is a personal story of greek and how she reveals that joining a greek organization is not just about being greek it requires a lot of time management and community service and trying to host fundraising activities and a lof of other good stuff.
- yes i found a lot of controversies over my topic through these searches especially because there is a lot of good things involeved and bad things involved in being greek . there is nothing bad in being greek but greeks are supposed to be rolemodels as they do everything there is a minimun gpa requirement , there is mandatory community service events, ther eis mandatory leaderships events on top of that u build friendships and networking . the two sides of the debate can be how to make people acknowledge the good things about the greek life and remove the bad reputation? the only interesting case i found was the link already shown above . its a case of a student who is a greek herself and she talks about how its that easy to just be greek.
-i question myself how i am going to go about this topic because there is a lot of counter arguments that can be made either way.

Blog #1 Topic nmmmm?
Ok, so i registered for this class because it was my last option. I took up the last spot of the class. i feel this class is going to be easy and interesting as we are writing about something we are already related to. i am really confused about what to write for my final paper as there are so many things to write about regarding issues in college. But a few topics that interests me the most would be :
1) Greek life in college : fraternities and sororities definetely make a college life much more interseting. From my personal experience i have loved college evn more after i joined a sorority. you built many friendships and its amazing for netweorking. It is an organization that provides everything: friendships, netwroking, resume buildup, philantropy, fundraising skills. You learn so much about yourself and it is truly a ' home away from home' because you build a circle of brothers /sisters in your university but there is always a issue with being in a fraternity and sorority- the ease to get a bad reputation in eyes of non greek students and also losing old friendships as they get involved with their frat/sorority and build new brotherhoods or sisterhoods.
2)time management issue in college: every college student experiences time management conflicts with their classes and social life and this raises various issues. Some students fail to manage their time efficiently and flunk in school while some only focus on books and fail to have a social collge life.
so these are the two topic i would be interesting in writing about in my final paper since they are very personal to me and they are both topics i can relate to very well hopefully i can decide which one i want to work on soon.
