Presentation Media

I remember last year I attended a meeting to be one of the founding sisters of a sorority. A few girls came from Berkeley from the same sorority and did a PowerPoint presentation in hope to recruit people. The speakers used over 20 slides because there was a lot of information to get across. In the beginning they used slides with bullet points of the qualifications you need, the rules, and the steps in becoming a founding sister. This helped focus on the most important points since they were providing a lot of info. They showed many pictures of the Berkeley sorority girls, their clothing, and their hand signal. This was helpful because I got to see proof of the girls having fun and showing pride outside of their meetings. It wasn’t necessarily distracting, but the speakers had too many slides and a long speech. They could have improved on their speech and use of presentation media by narrowing it down to the most important information, showing less slides, and less pictures. But overall, the presentation media helped persuade me into wanting to join the sorority because I saw how fun it would be and how it would benefit me.
