Re: Getting a Man or Getting Ahead....

I'm in the process of preparing a paper on a research project that was done in 1999; called "Getting a Man or Getting Ahead - A Comparison of White and Black Sororities, authored by Alexandra Berkowitz and Irene Padavic". I'll give a short overview. The researchers visited two different campuses and interviewed women from white and black sororities. Their conclusion was that white sorority women in this sample regarded sorority membership as a way to lead a productive social life that they hoped would enable them to get a man.


Sounds like there was some sampling error there. I would hardly call that a valid comparison of "white" and "black" sororities because the sample was too small, for starters. I'm sure there are NPHC women who joined to meet men and NPC women who joined to do community service. Do you have any valid information and data to back this up, or are you just trusting this flawed data?
