Abstract

Objective

Describe Greek life students’ perspectives of party culture, safety, and College Sexual Violence (CSV) prevention.

Participants

27 US undergraduates: 5 fraternity underclassmen, 6 fraternity upperclassmen, 10 sorority underclassmen, 6 sorority upperclassmen.

Methods

Students participated in one of four focus groups, separately by gender and academic year. Facilitation guide addressed partying, sexual violence, and safety.

Results

Greek life members described partying preferences, perceived safety threats, and actions they took to party safely. University efforts to support safe partying were not universally viewed as helpful.

Conclusions

Although Greek life students strive to create safe partying environments, there remain missed opportunities to mitigate risks related to CSV. The responsibility to ensure safe partying falls too heavily on students, resulting in universities missing opportunities to provide measures that promote safety while mitigating risks and potentially serious harms.

“这可能会毁掉整个希腊的生活”：希腊生活成员对政党文化、安全、责任和后果的看法

摘要

客观的

描述希腊生活学生对派对文化、安全和大学性暴力 (CSV) 预防的看法。

参加者

27名美国本科生：兄弟会低年级生5名，兄弟会高年级生6名，联谊会低年级生10名，联谊会高年级生6名。

方法

学生分别按性别和学年参加四个焦点小组之一。便利指南涉及聚会、性暴力和安全。

结果

希腊生活成员描述了聚会偏好、感知到的安全威胁以及他们为安全聚会而采取的行动。大学支持安全聚会的努力并没有被普遍认为有帮助。

结论

尽管希腊生活学生努力创造安全的聚会环境，但仍然错失了减轻 CSV 相关风险的机会。确保安全聚会的责任过分落在学生身上，导致大学错过了提供促进安全、同时减轻风险和潜在严重伤害措施的机会。
