Video Project Story Idea

Idea: "Different groups based on clothing and style"

Title:  "Who you are is more important than what you wear"- quote by designer, Kenneth Cole

Theme: Self- Identity vs. Group Identity 

A. Exploring: How different groups (e.g. fraternities, sororities, etc.) are identified by the clothes they wear. The stereotypes assigned to these different groups are created by outside perspectives, this leads to students who aren't involved with these groups being falsely identified.

B. The structure of our story will be based upon interviews from Sociology professors, fraternities, sororities, and other students to build more depth in the content of our project. We will use the Sociology professor to provide more information on why and how students seem to identify differently based on what groups they're a part of.

C. The video footage will provide contextual information to explain the cultural differences in clothes that are being represented by the groups we will be interviewing. This will show how this will impact different genders and age groups around campus and will explore how students who aren't involved in these groups build different perceptions and stereotypes about them.

D. We will interview the following groups/people:

1.Christine L Williams, Sociology Department Chair

2. Kappas ( Fraternity)

3.and a Sorority that we're still deciding upon.

Favorite News Sites



One of the news sites that I use the most is the New York Times. I have a digital subscription to the New York Times and receive emails from them often for breaking news. It keeps me up to date with the latest news.

I also like to use Yahoo! News because it's easily accessible and brings all the latest news to my attention. The site is also very easy to navigate through and to find the information I am looking for.
