Background
Managing events for Greek life organizations can be complicated, with disorganized guest lists, fragmented communication, and inconsistent ticketing methods. The goal is to streamline how organizations plan events, invite members and other chapters, and manage attendance while ensuring smooth coordination and compliance with risk policies.
Stakeholders
Our primary stakeholders are consumers and businesses involved in online shopping. To understand consumer behavior and ad influence, we conducted contextual inquiries with diverse participants, including frequent shoppers and environmentally conscious individuals.
Findings
Ads appeared approximately every 7-10 videos on TikTok.
Frequent exposure to ads drove impulsive purchases with little to no consideration for environmental impact.
Most consumers overlooked sustainability and were influenced by trends and convenience.
Eco-conscious consumers actively researched products and company practices before making purchases.

Consumerism drives overconsumption, contributing to significant environmental damage through increased waste, pollution, and resource depletion. Influenced by advertising, trends, and social media, consumers often purchase more than necessary, reinforcing unsustainable production and disposal practices. Despite growing awareness of environmental issues, many shoppers remain unaware of the long-term impacts of their decisions.
