You need to report this to the police. The rapist is still on campus going about his life as if he has no consequences to consider. HE WILL DO THIS AGAIN and maybe something worse next time. There is no reason on earth you should have to be in his presence during a class where he can flaunt his power over you.

You need to talk to the chapter advisors. Your sisters can help you heal, but only if they understand that there are reasons for your destructive behaviors. They don't need the details, they don't need to know exactly what happened until you are confortable talking to 1 or 2 of them. As long as they know that there is something going on and you are not just some wild girl who left home so you can act out, they will be a strong support for you.

Many moons ago when I was a collegian, we had a pledged freak out uncontrollably during a Halloween event. Most of us were confused and frightened by what happened. Eventually, he boyfriend was able to let us know some things. This woman had been raped a year earlier but since she was a Christian Scientist, her mother would not allow her to get counseling. Our chapter President talked to Counseling Services privately to find out how we were able to help her through this. We were able to bond with her, assist in getting class notes, etc while she worked through her current distress. When the chapter president talked to the woman's mother and explained that we were not trained to help, but were doing all we could, Mom finally came to school and personally took her daughter for approved counseling. Once it was in the open and she got help, she herself became empowered to heal and live a "normal" life.
