Greek Life Postcard Your sorority or fraternity plays an important role in campus life. Images shows a coffee cup, pens, and some textbooks. On top of the textbooks is a flyer that says "Greek Life hosts Consent Workshop. Sexual Assault has no place on our campus." One in five women and one in sixteen men are sexually assaulted while in college. It doesn't have to be this way. You know sexual assault on college campuses is a major problem. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Your sorority or fraternity has a lot to offer — use your leadership and resources to help prevent sexual violence on campus. When your organization promotes equality, respect, and accountability, it helps create a safer space for everyone. Support an equal and safe campus community: • Sponsor campus-wide awareness events that focus on consent, healthy sexuality, and bystander intervention. • Partner with other groups on campus or in the local community that support equality, such as LGBTQ organizations, your campus women’s center, or local rape crisis centers. • Educate members about what enthusiastic, affirmative consent looks like.* • Step in and speak up when you hear rape jokes, see sexual harassment, or observe situations where consent hasn’t been or cannot be given.
