Hi there, I think you have chosen a really interesting topic that is very important in light of current events. On the UBC campus recently there have been talks and debates related to sexual assault within the Greek System here at UBC. Information such as this needs to be bought to the public in order to understand both the severity of the situation as well as the need to address the systematic issues that put women at risk to these forms of assault. Especially because the number of women attending North American University institutions this is an even more pressing issue. Where you have discussed the long term impacts on women and stated the need for a cultural change whereby the are not subordinate to men is very interesting. I think it would also be valuable to consider if the reporting systems are competent to make the victims of sexual assault feel comfortable to go to. This is crucial because the Greek System is a very "gossipy" community and the confidentiality of victims is crucial. It is important that they feel comfortable to take action where they have been assaulted.
