I am senior anthropology student and I am working on my senior assignment. My project is a study based on the differences and similarities between CPC and NPHC sororities. For the purpose of my study I am in the process of gathering surveys from members of these two types of sororities. If you would like to participate in this study there are two options.
A. You can visit my website to learn more about why I am doing this project and then you can be directed to the survey
My website can be found at:
http://anthsenproj.tripod.com

B. I have below posted links to the surveys and you can go straight from this page to the survey.

If you are a member of a CPC sorority (Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Delta Pi, Delta Zeta, Chi Omega, etc.) Please follow this link to take the survey:

If you are a member of a NPHC sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho) Please follow this link to take the survey:

Thank You!!!

I started the survey and then stopped, because the first page alone showed me that you lack a basic understanding of the NPHC (and the NPC since you keep calling them the CPC.). I suggest you do more research and redo the survey

Was it the question on whether you would choose to be a different group when with NPHC you really only rush one group that did it for you, Ladygreek?

Wow... Someone really needs to do more research. She is trying to uplift the hype rather than examine the reality of each organization.

Besides, if she wants interests to post, she needs to say that... She should not ask us to do it. And a lot of us are way out of undergraduate. Like WAAAY DONE with college.

AKA_Monet, is there something that you misread during my survey? Please PM me and give me 5 examples of things I need to do far more research on, maybe you can give me some insight since you seem to want to be so helpful.

I am forced to assume that you have poor reading skills if you believe my survey is for interests. Do you have trouble understanding grammatical tenses? Afterall, you did say you were "like waay done with college". This would explain why you would think that the survey is for interests as opposed to people who are already in a sorority. For example the questions are such as Why did you join a sorority? NOT why do you want to join a sorority. Libraries have tons of information on grammatical tense. You should visit and check up on your skills. You might just see me there continuing my research on NPC and NPHC sororities! Afterall, I never said I was finished with my research. Thanks Again!

I can assure you that AKA_Monet has great reading skills.
At any rate the questions 'why did you join a sorority?' although the wording is geared to members of sororities the answer choices were indeed superficial as SquirrelGirl stated which could lead people to believe that was geared to an interest who does not know much, if any, history or purpose of GLO's (NPC or NPHC).

Seeing that you say you are a member of a NPHC sorority I would think you would have asked more specific questions, especially about graduate membership.

BTW...since you 'are' a NPHC fab 4 member feel free to introduce yourself in the proper threads.

Based on the questions you are asking in your survey, you have failed to allow respondants to give you their truest and probably more realistic answers. You ask for the satisfaction of joining a NPHC sorority and if one would want to change if they could. What statistical measurement would legitimately establish the similarities or differences of a NPC organization and a NPHC sorority when one can only join 1 NPHC sorority for life? You should know this information and knowledge of this information makes this point moot.

Establishing the primary reasons for joining a NPHC sorority, the listing is superfluous. It should be ranked. There are many primary reasons. Some sillier than others. But what you want is quantifiable data, not randomizations without P-values. You do not have a null hypothesis based on your questions. Therefore, your Gaussian distribution will not give you any kind of post survey testing for an F-test.

Forget my vernacular, you have just got me started with full usage of my Doctorate... You understand what I mean. That is why I asking about academic review. I completely fail to understand your logic with question 9. What are you asking? Why do you ask it? Most of my sorority sisters have post-secondary degrees...

You are going to have to tolerate harsh criticism and evaluation if you write surveys that you want people to support it. You may as well let us do it you while we cannot see you rather than having another Doctorate flunk you based their extremely limited knowledge of the problem or issue. Regardless of your own professor, it has YET to matter with these kinds of things. Others are going to what know what your thoughts are about it by yourself with questions. I know, been there, done that, have a T-shirt.

I am reminding you, DO NOT GET EMOTIONAL! I am telling you had better change some aspects of the survey. If you do not know how, I will show you if you PM me. That is not only my professional opinion, it has to do with the fullness of the scientific method.

No, very honestly it was the question about how long you have been in your org. I just answered another survey that listed the years in a way more relevant to NPHC sororities. Four year are more does not even begin to give the suveyor a sense of NPHC sororities.

So my take was this survey was only geared to collegiate members, which makes an apples to oranges comparison. And since NPC sororities also have alumnae chapters the survey would skew their results also, and not take into consideration AIs.

4 years or more wouldn't begin to describe NPC's either......I'm at 19 already.

ladygreek, I encourage you to read my second post regarding how much research I need to do. In addition, I must ask what was so offensive about the first page of the survey that you believed I have a lack of understanding of the NPHC (especially considering I belong to a NPHC sorority myself). In case you have poor memory this is what the first page says:

Thank you for taking the time to take this survey! For my senior project I am studying the differences and similarities between NPC and NPHC sororities. Your answers will help NPHC and NPC sorority members have a better understanding of each other as well as point potential members in the right direction as far as what they should expect from their sorority experience.

This survey has three parts and should take less than 5 minutes to complete.

Thanks Again!

If the survey was too dificult or too stressful for you to complete then I am very happy that you opted out so soon. I would hate to cause you more pain than what you would experience in everyday life had you not been asked to complete my survey. If you do not understand my previous statement I encourage you and AlphaPhiSig to enroll together in a sociology or anthropology research class. Thanks so much! And do try not to be so sensitive.

Sensitive? Well you obviously fooled me, because your survey did not convey that you had any knowledge of NPHC. And since it wouldn't let me go to other pages, because I did not answer all of the questions on the first page, I'll admit I don't know what else you asked.

So what NPHC org are you a member of?

[ladygreek]

sfks...,
Can I safely assume you are not a Delta or an AKA, since you would not have answered your sorors thusly on a public message board?

MESSAGEBOARDS ARE NOT FOR HOMEWORK!

Haha... I like that...

sfksfl07 = ?

Because you know she reposted her name and we can figure it out with the IP address or something like that...

Then, we should wonder if her "process" was legit--who voted her in? Because, I know for my Sorority, it is a suspendable infraction. My Soror Babs ain't playing this year or next year... Folks will be kicked out without provocation...

Ladygreek, after looking at the "survey" and reading the OP responses, I HIGHLY doubt she is a member of a NPHC sorority. We may be members of different sororities, but respect for sisters in the Divine 9 is priceless....
