For this project, I decided to create an interview type project. What inspired me to go with the interview route was the tutorial we did during the audition tutorials for class. The interview I did relates to my topic because I think it is important to showcase not only why I joined Alpha Chi Omega, but why other girls did too. I am living in the house for my second semester this year and my room mate is my best friend, Sidney. I decided to interview her because while there are similarities as to the reason why we both decided to join Alpha Chi Omega, there are differences as well. That is part of what I think is so empowering about our house. We are a diverse group of women, but we all come together because of our core values. All across the country, Alpha Chi Omega’s core values are academic interest, character, financial responsibility, leadership ability, and personal development. While we all may have our differences (as any large group of women will), we all come together because these values are extremely important to us all. We have been taught to embrace our differences and love each other unconditionally because we are all there for the same reason. How I collected elements and created them was by using the voice memo app on my phone. I first recorded me explaining that I was going to tell why I joined Alpha Chi Omega. Then, I recorded myself explaining my reasoning. I re-recorded myself explaining my reasoning for my final draft because the quality did not sound as good as I had wanted it to be. Next, I introduced Sidney and said that she was going to say why she joined Alpha Chi Omega. I also re-recorded myself saying this as well for the same reasoning. Lastly, I recorded myself explaining how we all joined the house for our different reasons, but it all comes down to the fact that we all value the same things and that is why it is so special. I re-recorded myself saying this for the final draft as well and made sure to make myself sound more clear than I felt I sounded the first time. In finishing up my final draft, I deleted the three audio recordings that I felt could have sounded better and replaced it with the new ones. Then, I made sure they were all the same volumes, so that it would flow better. Lastly, I then exported it as a new mp3 and uploaded my final draft to SoundCloud! I am proud of my final project and am very glad I have gotten to share my experiences in Greek Life to you all!
