Observation 2

For my second observation, I watched a philanthropy event put on by the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity. They had a giant blow-up rainbow ball in and around the pit and were walking around getting everyone to sign it to help the Rape Crisis Center with rape victims. Most of the group of brothers that were doing this at the time were actively involved in finding people that walked by to sign the ball. There were the clear leaders that were yelling out to people and persuading them to sign the ball, and then there were also brothers that were quieter that just helped hand out markers. It seemed as though most of the brothers really cared about getting a lot of signatures for the rape victims; however, there were a couple that seemed completely uninterested and were just there because they were supposed to be. These brothers talked amongst themselves and only called out to their friends that came by. This partially proves my hypothesis to be true because they did not seem to care that they were working for a good cause. They only wanted to hang out with their friends, like they would at any other social event. It also partially disproves my hypothesis because multiple brothers were really trying hard to get signatures and were eager to share what their project was all about.
