Hypothesis: Bivariate Relationship: Members of a fraternity or sorority that have a drinking problem miss less class than those who are not in a fraternity or sorority. Multivariate Relationship: Males who are members of a fraternity who have a drinking problem miss less class than females who are apart of a sorority. Females who are members of a sorority who have a drinking problem miss less class than males who are apart of a fraternity. The values for my independent variable FRATSORO is yes-1 and no-2. The values for my dependent variable MSSCLASS is not at all-1, once-2, and 2 xs or more-3. The control variable is Gender and its values are 1(male) and 2 (female). When Gender is being taken into affect I think that it brings another aspect to the problem/research. With most problems it comes down to male and female. I think that the research will show that when drinking women miss more class than males. “A higher percent of women will miss class more than men.” Rationale In college life, there are individuals that are apart of extended families such as fraternities and sororities. Within these organizations a lot of different activities take place that affect members of the organizations, Different things include but are not limited to partying. In these parties like most parties there is serious drinking. This serious drinking leads to hangovers, which can prevent students from making it to class on time or even at all. Discussion This data shows that members of a fraternity or sorority actually don’t miss a lot of class at all (77.7%) while (57.5%) show that they do miss class. There are very decent showings in the missing class ONCE category. (19.9%) of members of a fraternity or Sorority say that they have missed classed at least once as a result of drinking while only (11.3%) say that they haven’t missed class. 22.7% of members have missed class 2 times or more, while (11.1%) have not. The specific data for males show that most male who are members of a fraternity don’t miss class at all as a result of drinking (72.7%). Maybe males can handle alcohol better than females. (22.8%) of males have missed class at least once. There are a few males that have missed class 2 times or more with a decent showing at (22.8%). The specific data for females show that in the not at all category there is a very strong showing for the No option at (81.3%). While there is (59.8%) for yes. (17.6%) of females who members of a sorority have missed classed at least once while (11.6%) have not. (22.5%) of females have missed class 2 times or more. My hypothesis was not correct in thinking that women miss more class than men. The data actually shows and proves that men miss more class than women.
