I am thinking about writing my paper on the stereotypes that sororities face. I wanted to take the normal things that people characterize sorority girls as and do research to show the impact that sororities have made on society. I also wanted to research ladies that were part of sororities and show what they have done in their past and what they are doing now.

            When trying to focus on a media the first thing I thought of was television. Legally Blonde is one movie that stereotypes sororities, but then in the end shows how the girls aren’t just about their looks that there is brains behind them too. I found blogs on Legally Blonde such as this one. http://thankyounetflix.wordpress.com/2009/01/31/legally-blonde/ This showed the plot of Legally Blonde from another’s eyes. I think that this blog did help me because it showed me other peoples opinions of it so that I could kind of see what others thought. The writer of this blog said that normally they would be turned away from a movie like this, but that after seeing it, it actually turned out to be something more then what you would picture a movie about a sorority to be.

            Another movie I was interested in using for my paper is Sydney White. I was unable to find any blogs about this movie so far.  I think this movie fits perfectly with what I want to write my paper on. It portrays exactly what most people would think of when you hear sorority. It shows the girls being mean and cruel to others.  It also shows them only caring about themselves. When people watch this it just shows them that what they have always heard about sorority girls is true. So with my paper I would like to show how the stereotypes aren’t right.
