One thing that I think is important is direct advice, such as "Don't leave your drink unattended at a party". There is a risk of rohypnol ("roofies" aka "The Date Rape" Drug) or other drugs being put in there, without the person's knowledge. Also, I know of some sororities that make sure that if there are a few girl hanging around at the end of parties (any kind of parties, not necessarily fraternity parties), the sorority girls get the girls to come with them, so that the girls are not left isolated and alone (which is often the setting for date rape, gang rape, etc.).
I have taken some very empowering self-defense courses from a group called "Model Mugging", and I would recommend these courses to ANY and EVERY woman.
