Since 2015, we've been able to help create safer campuses using the following strategies:

1. Providing information to fraternity members, sorority members, and student athletes via educational presentations, workshops, seminars, podcasts, and social media.
2. Enhancing the skills of all participants to achieve campus level outcomes.
3. Providing ongoing support to reduce risk and enhance protection via alternative activities, mentoring, referrals, and support groups/clubs.
4. Working to enhance access and reduce barriers by improving recruitment systems and processes to increase the ease, ability, and opportunities for students to utilize fraternity/sorority services.
5. Changing consequences (incentives/disincentives) by increasing or decreasing the probability of specific behaviors that reduces risk or enhances protection by altering the consequences for performing that behaviors (public recognition for deserved behavior, chapter/council rewards, or loss of privileges).
6. Changing the physical design or structure of the environment to reduce risk or enhance protection during social events or even campus design.
7. Modifying/changing policies with a formal change in chapter/council procedures, bylaws, or rules, including public policy actions and systems change within government, communities, and organizations.

We would like to take a moment to recognize and say the names of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and other victims of violence and racism.

Since 2015, Greek University has been committed to creating safer campuses through education. As such, we will continue to be ready and willing to create and execute education that supports the #blacklivesmatter movement and addresses racism on college campuses. While we acknowledge that we currently have programs that directly address racism, there is always room for improvement. We are here for you and welcome your feedback about what we can do to be better and what you need from us to do better.

Our speakers are committing to anti-racism, and are educating themselves to ensure that we remain purposeful allies.

We would love to share some of the resources that we have found helpful to read, listen to, take action as a result of, support, and donate to. We hope that you find this list helpful so that you can take action as well:
