CASE STUDY (20 Marks)
Paula is a freshman at a large
university in southern California. She is involved with a sorority, Alpha
Alpha, on her campus. Paula rushed Alpha Alpha because she heard that it was
heavily involved in philanthropy. In fact, Alpha Alpha hosts an annual philanthropy
week donating money to a charity that raises money for cancer research. Paula
is excited to take part in the weeklong activities because philanthropy and
service have always been an important part of her life. She wants to find out
more about the charity, and is thrilled that other college students will also
be finding out more about cancer research and what they can individually do to
help fight cancer. When the week approaches, Paula is surprised at the
activities that will take place. She notices that not once in the week’s
activities does it mention cancer research. Teams simply sign-up and have each
member pay $15 to partake in the activities. Paula notices that the activities
are simply attending a dinner at a local restaurant, performing a two-minute
dance on stage, a karaoke tournament, a fashion show, and a scavenger hunt.
Paula thinks the week is a lame excuse of a philanthropic effort. She hears
from her older sorority sisters that teams just pay the fee and never hear
about the charity again. Teams allegedly just
participate to get drunk and attempt to
win the activities for bragging rights. Paula is disappointed to be a part of
such a philanthropy week.
