Alpha Xi Delta sisters fight sexual assault

http://www.buzzfeed.com/alisonvingia...rape-on-campus

"After those first discussions were met with overwhelmingly positive responses from their peers, the duo decided to get the help of their sorority sister and PR major, Julie Gelb, to create “Girl Code Movement,” a college-focused, anti-sexual assault organization that attempts to unite college women nationwide to “become active operatives to stop a rape from happening.” Their mission is to empower students on campus to look out for women and possible victims by being active bystanders who identify and help possible victims."


I find it interesting that so many of the strategies discussed were part of my pledge training. As part of our pledge period, we were instructed to never go alone to parties, to stay with my sisters, never leave a drink unattended, make sure your friends don't attempt to drive if they've had too much to drink, never go into the bedrooms of fraternity members at mixers and don't ever walk with a cigarette. All but one of those are still really good advice - I don't know that walking with a cigarette is still a thing.
