Efforts Continue on Sexual Assault Awareness

As noted in the NPC chairman’s September message, sexual assault awareness is at the forefront of discussions on college campuses. We are continuing to get updates about initiatives that are underway. Thank you for sharing your efforts with NPC. 

In recent months, national campaigns have been launched to help raise awareness and engage individuals to speak up and take action. One such initiative underway is “It’s On Us.” We applaud our Panhellenic sisters who have taken the pledge. It is wonderful to see that our brothers in NIC and fraternity men are also addressing this issue that is very important to all students, but especially to women. We can all make a difference in spreading the word. 

We are also seeing more education on Title IX -- what it means and how it is defined. Some College Panhellenics are inviting campus officials trained on Title IX to attend their meetings and provide education to sorority women. Please take a moment to review the nine things to know about Title IX.

Friends, our united efforts for sexual assault awareness continue. We encourage our College Panhellenics and sorority leaders to become educated about Title IX and encourage our women to stand by each other and support others who have the courage to come forward and report. After all, we are on the same team.
