The goal of Greeks Against Sexual Assault (GASA) is to train members of fraternities and sororities so they can then positively influence their peers by challenging social norms that promote gender-based violence; understanding their connection to survivors of gender-based violence; and role modeling effective bystander interventions. The weekly meetings will explore issues of gender, privilege, social justice and how we can stop sexual assault and interpersonal violence, specifically within the Greek community. Applications are due January 28th and must be completed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GASASpring2015 The meetings will begin the week of February 16th and run through the week of April 20th – day and time to be determined based on participant availability.
This program is co-sponsored by the UConn Women’s Center and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (OFSL).
