Alysa Jackson Source 3

Research Question: How do sororities at Mizzou influence and effect the academic performance of its individual members?

I am really still struggling to find sources that discuss my topic and are credible. I have spent hours pouring over sources
 
Part 2:

This study investigated the correlation between students who used alcohol, perception drugs, and cannabis.  The study wanted to see if ingesting and taking part in these activities reduced class attendence or lowered academic performance. The study used 900+ students from a public university. When the study was completed, the correlation was very clear. Not only did attendance rapidly decrease, so did academic achievement. The source releases all its data and seems to be very credible.    The source also breaks down the tables and graphs into what they mean.

The source I think really helps enlighten me. Not only is this an epidemic for sorority and fraternity students, it's a threat to all students. This makes the argument so much more relevant. This is a growing issue. The correlation between these situations is seriously hurting students. I will most surely be using this source in my paper.

In relation to my other sources. This one is much more broad. The source is still in agreement with my last one. The first source I used does not agree with either of these. I am not too sure I could use this source for dialect synthesis.

This question leads me to wonder if the students are just naturally influenced to these situations.  Or if my questions are right, is the increase in all of these situations due to the Greek lifestyle. They are constantly under pressure to be in these situations. Maybe I should investigate how influenced they are?
