Speech Update

For my speech I am researching Greek letter organizations, the history and what Greek letter organizations are today. My main points touch upon benefits of going Greek, myths and stereotypes, and why and how to go Greek. I plan to start my speech off by telling a story of a stereotypical Greek organization that fits into the stereotype which media has persuaded us to believe. Then I will go into persuading my audience by using facts and evidence about Greeks and try to paint a positive picture of Greeks. I already have a ton of facts and I am also gathering information about Greeks on our campus. A power point will be effective as a visual to help aid me in my speech. I will have pictures of familiar “Greeks” as well as statistics to change the audience’s perception. Once I paint that picture of what Greeks do besides the stereotypical activities, I will suggest a plan of action and why I am Pro Greek. The chart 4.3 in the chapter shows what strategies to use to persuade when being Pro Greek. Suggesting a plan of action will require me to provide information of when and how to join an organization. The plan is to first look into what Greek organizations there are on campus and what their purpose is. Researching an organization is one of the most important things to do as you don’t want to join an organization who’s letters you wouldn’t be proud to wear. I will end my speech with previewing positive points and the suggested plan of action.
