The fraternity chosen was one that already had a good reputation for having a 'positive influence on members' moral development.' It was chosen by information gathered from 'student affairs personnel' at the university which seems acceptable. However, the only members he interviewed were current or previous members of the fraternity. There was no outside voice or perspective regarding the fraternity and how it is viewed by the so-called general public or possibly other University students.

# data[].attributes.body
No methods were described. A rating questionnaire was sent out to the 'student affairs personnel' and no copy of this questionnaire was included. Also, the author is vague and says he collected documents, 17 interviews, observed and there are no records or data that he uses to prove to the audience that any of this data supports his claim.
