these craved parties. This is the most important link between the two types of methods, making them all relate, adding to a better understanding of the drinking world at campuses with Greeks and athletes.The last approach I will take is using once again the Qualitative Method, but being a participant-observer. This will allow me to grasp the situation from an outsiders point. I will be able to observe the actions that take place when alcohol is a factor in these social gatherings. Observing the patterns, types, and amounts of alcohol being consumed, will add to aid my research to help other understand the effects it has on women and men. I can observe why alcohol abuse is so abundant in athletes and Greeks, by observing the settings and attitudes towards the drinkers and nondrinkers. This will help me to explain my data when presented in my study, enabling people to understand the whole spectrum involved around alcohol abuse with these groups. The disadvantages I might be faced with are the cautiousness and reluctance to have the same drinking habits as usual. This may be solved by asking the president of the fraternity/sorority not to tell the member of the party about my study.So overall by using the triangulation theory it will enable me to get the numbers I need for my study. I will also have an explanation and a theory by using my qualitative research approach. Dissemination of DataIn the completion of my study, it will then benefit many organizations and Universities in Maine. Starting off with the most obvious, the Universities. After my study is complete they will be able to calculate the effect of Greek organizations on the student's life alcohol abuse. They will then be able to determine if the Greek system is worth keeping established. The universities will be able to determine a better method to keep their athletes from abstaining from alcohol and find better programs to lower the amounts of drinking within these programs....
