Mary Louise and Sorority Surveillance

"There's a lot of pressure on sorority girls in particular to perform and to act like a typical sorority girl. But in reality, they're just being surveyed and watched over at every second." Gabe Stultz and Prof Daly guide us through stories illustrating the three levels of sorority behavior policing and how they play out on Instagram, Snapchat, and Greek Rank. Transcript at https://share.descript.com/view/jl7lf7zFEdN. Produced by Diana Daly and Gabe Stultz, with deep thanks to the students who shared their stories.
