Inform before it happens again?
by: New MemberI’ve been hearing more and more about SA in the community since I’ve joined. If freshmen are the most vulnerable why aren’t sororities warning new members or informing us of how and where to be careful?

honestly as new members we really aren't warned enough - just do your best to be safe, never leave your friends to walk home alone, or in a room with a guy unless she is sober and tells you she's okay, and try and ask older girls you trust about which guys have allegations when possible so you can stay aware. I'm so so sorry, and I wish sororities could do more to protect us. hopefully disaffiliating helps.

Despite there being a few members of greek life at ubc being accused of SA in the last few years, please please please don't get it in your head that frat guys just wanna get in your pants. Sure there are some creeps in the village, but I'm speaking for most greek guys when I say we just wanna get to know y'all and are very very respectful when it comes to your guys's wishes.

74% more likely than 1/5 is over 100% which is obviously not true.
you dont have to be this afraid, its not as bad as people make it out to be.

It’s not more then 100%. Non-Greek women have a 20% chance of being assaulted while sorority women’s chance is 35%.

so thats not 74% thats 15% more. you guys keep making up numbers and blow it way out of proportion literally every time. only on this website do people talk about it nonstop, never in real life.

Oh dear, you're gonna fail MATH/STAT 302...
It is 74% more. You can't go above 100%, and this certainly does not.

Lol @the people saying SA isn’t common... in my first year I was under the impression that my sorority trusted the frats 100% and we were told to take their booze and befriend them. Only after I was SA did some of my sorority sisters say ‘they never trusted those guys’. Too little too late - don’t match us with male ‘bigs’ at parties who will later take advantage of our naivety and trust of them. New members should be warned - better safe than sorry

I was once in charge of my sororities new member education. At that time I did discuss the harsh reality of SA I the Greek system. I gave tips on how to avoid it and what to do if it happened. Sororities do this. They have action plans. But sorority women should be able to
Party and drink in the community that they PAID to be a part of. Frats warn your members that there is a ZERO tolerance policy, that they WILL be removed at any accusation and maybe just maybe we will finally get to a point where we deter members and stop holding women accountable for the actions of men

I have never had an issue with the frats, not saying it doesn't happen. I am alum now but during the times that we partied (and trust me we partied) we were a full community and cared for each other if I had too much to drink that night, I would get a bunch of texts from frat boys making sure I made it home okay. Different times I guess, I am sorry this is happening now. Just be safe girls (make smart decisions, stay with your girls) and frats talk to your boys.
