Woman, 19, reports rape at UW fraternity

^ I had the same question regarding the Panhellenic Association's involvement. I would assume because it involves a female student and they will likely have the means to provide programming to further educate their members.

The current Panhellenic advisor is also the interim IFC advisor, so it's possible that while the article only lists her as associated with the CPH, she is waiting to repond as the joint advisor, not just the Panhellenic advisor (if that makes any sense).

But yes, I would assume she would also want to alert the sororities and make sure they all know to keep safe. It is unfortunate that so many crimes seem to be happening in the UW Greek System. In response, the Seattle PD are going to boost patrol of the neighborhood, according to this article: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/399443_bike10.html. Not sure how much this will help, but something's better than nothing.

A lot of the crimes on the blocks of greek housing at UW have nothing to do with the greeks. It is an easy place for thugs to hide, with all the trees and bushes along the sidewalks, and the general lack of lighting. Increasingly I do not like to park and walk along those streets at night, and unfortunately since there is NOT enough parking, one must often walk quite a ways to get to/from their car. I wish the Seattle PD would work with the entire neighborhood to install better lighting and encourage trimming back brush that might be a convenient place for people to hide.

But anyway, I don't regularly read of violent crime in the UW fraternities and sororities, which is why this story was newsworthy, I think.
