Possible Field Sites

I have chosen, at the moment, the subculture of Campus Crusade for Christ, or Cru. I am somewhat of an insider, but fairly new, so that bit of mystery is still there. There are quite a few possible field sites in my upcoming research. Those locations are Pruis Hall, the Atrium, members' houses, Mysch and Hurst Halls, and any place members may hang out. At Pruis Hall, Cru has their weekly worship. There is a large stage, with a much larger seating area. The back wall is usually covered by a projection screen, which is used for announcements, videos, and worship. It is a fun and loving atmosphere, which is characteristic of all Cru locations. The Atrium is a popular hangout mainly because it is located in the middle of campus, and a Cru member can get lunch or dinner there, and is able see his or her friends. Usually on the weekends, members hangout at someone's house, and have fun. Bible studies are held in most halls, if not all. Mysch and Hurst hall is just one of the many options for bible study. I'm not exactly sure of what I hope to learn about my subculture, except for, more about it. Their rituals, inside jokes, certain behaviors, events, stuff like that.
