Undergraduate Student Government’s Committee on Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention (SAAP) held an optional quarterly workshop on Sunday that aimed to educate fraternity members on alcohol consumption and bystander intervention. The event’s presentation, made with assistance from the University’s Center for Awareness, Resolution, Education, and Support (CARES), came amid renewed scrutiny of sexual violence and fraternity culture at the University. Multiple recent reports of sexual assaults at the Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) and Alpha Delta Phi (Alpha Delt) fraternity houses have raised questions about the University’s ability to address misconduct within Greek life. Since fraternities are not officially recognized by the University, the University does not exercise the same oversight over them as it does over RSOs.
