Sexual Violence Risk Management: How sexual violence is reported and how sexual violence affects students within Arizona State University's Fraternity and Sorority Life Community

This thesis investigates the complex issue of sexual violence within Greek Life, aiming to shed light on its prevalence and explore potential prevention strategies. Sexual violence remains a pervasive problem on college campuses, and Greek organizations have garnered significant attention due to their social prominence and hierarchical structures. Through a comprehensive literature review and employing qualitative and quantitative research methods, this study delves into the intricate facets of sexual violence within Greek Life. This research examines patterns and trends of sexual violence at Arizona State University by surveying students within Greek organizations. Additionally, we explore the perceptions and attitudes of three interviewees who have a connection with the university. Furthermore, this thesis delves into the occurrence of sexual violence on campus and evaluates the effectiveness of existing prevention initiatives within Greek Life. It considers educational initiatives, policy changes, and community partnerships as potential avenues for reducing sexual assault and fostering a safer environment within Greek organizations at Arizona State University. Ultimately, our project seeks to shed light on the prevalence of sexual violence within Greek organizations and the broader college community.
