Greeks Against Sexual Assault

Greeks Against Sexual Assault works towards increasing awareness, educating, and eliminating sexual assault and dating violence
from the Greek community through peer education and activism amongst sororities and fraternities nationwide.

About Greeks Against Sexual Assault

The University of California, Davis has operated the Campus Violence Prevention Program (CVPP) since 1979.

In an effort to further target the Greek community, GASA was created through CVPP in the spring of 2007. A class was developed and all Greek chapters were encouraged to have a representative enroll. The first class in the fall of 2007 had 16 representatives who were educated on the facts about sexual assault and the resources available on campus. The final project for the class was for each representative to go back and present their new knowledge to their own chapters.

Due to the enormous success of the pilot program, the class will be offered on a bi-annual basis and we look forward to sharing the program with many campuses in the coming months.

Ending with Support

One of my favorite parts about creating the video podcasts was the ending credit reel. While most of the information was incredibly basic on that final slide, I felt very strongly about having the last thing my users see be the web address for my blog. After watching a short video podcast that takes the form of a public service announcement about what can often be a difficult and emotional topic, I wanted to be sure to leave the students with a place where they can go to get more information and support.
