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.

Musical Consistency

I decided to use the same opening and closing music in my video podcasts that I used in my audio podcasts. Dealing with such a difficult and personal topic as sexual assault, I wanted to select a serious music clip to set the tone. When creating a new website or organization I think it is crucial for the user to be able to recognize consistency. With three audio podcasts and three video podcasts, I wanted something to connect them all together besides the content and website themselves. After sharing my completed audio podcasts, and the initial drafts of my video podcasts, the viewers agreed that the music helped tie everything together while also setting the tone.
