Scenario
Michael Minor is a 20-year old MIT Junior and a brother of Phi Kappa Sigma. Michael has been so overwhelmed with schoolwork this week that he has forgotten to do his house jobs. His Gmail inbox has 297 unread emails, which means that the house job email that goes out every week gets lost and goes unread, adding to his forgetfulness. Since he's been so overwhelmed lately, he also wants to make sure that he gets some time to relax this weekend. His beloved Pittsburgh Steelers are playing on Sunday and SportsCenter says that this game is "the one to watch". He wants to make sure that he reserves the tv room, with the 61" big screen, to watch the game with his friends and relax.
Meanwhile, Max Powers, an 18-year old freshman from Houston, is thinking about joining a fraternity. Max wanted to focus on his schoolwork his Freshman year and wanted to give dormitory life a try, so he did not take part in his Rush. After his first semester, he has decided that he wants to take part in Rush in the fall, but wants to try and explore different fraternities during the spring. Since Max is very focused on his work, he does not have much time to go out to Boston to visit the different fraternities and take house tours. Instead, Max wants to look at the different fraternity websites and see what the houses are like.

Michael Minor has been to SkullWeb many times throughout his three years at MIT and knows how to achieve maximum efficiency on it. So he pulls up his bookmarked pages and clicks on the first and most important one "SkullWeb". He then sees the home page described above. Without reading a thing he mouses over to the "Actives Access" button and clicks. He is taken to an intermediate sign in page. Once he is signed in he scans the actives main page:
Michael sees that he does have a house job but he also notices that he forgot to reserve the tv for the big game. So he clicks "Add Reservation" and fills out the information. After submitting this he checks the calendar to make sure it went through. He then runs off and does his house job. Once he returns he clicks on "Completed???" and fills this out:
Now that he is finished he signs out and continues his school work.
After arriving to the sites main page (as seen above), Max realizes that there are no current Rush activities happening because the "Current Rush Activity" says "The next event is at 3:00 tomorrow". So he locates this event on the Mini Rush Schedule. The name of the event is not that much help so he clicks on the schedule and it takes him here:
Max will be able to go the the event but then he has school work and wont have time to come back to the house for the legendary house tours given by the brothers of Phi Kappa Sigma. Max is also very lazy so instead of heading over to the house for a tour now he continues his scouring of SkullWeb. He decides to use his little free time now to click through the tour so he clicks on the "Tour" button at the bottom of the page and is taken here:
Max is finished with the tour, remembered to mark on his calendar when the rush event is, and has run out of free time so he goes back to work.
