Presented by Dara Raboy-Picciano, LCSW-R Coordinator 20:1 Programs & LC Coghill Director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs Binghamton University

 2004 Fraternity Peer Education program  Held Focus Groups to understand and identify program needs  First developed Empathy Program  As the need arose, additional program Tiers were developed  Program expanded over the years, becoming a credit-bearing internship  Presenting to other student groups

FOCUS GROUP QUESTIONS:  Do you think sexual assault is a problem on BU campus? How is it a problem and how pervasive?  How do you believe the idea of consent is understood?  How do members of a fraternity express dissatisfaction with one another? How do they stand up to each other?  If you were to design an effective sexual assault prevention program what would it look like?  Do you think men can play an important role in this process?

WHAT WAS LEARNED:  Fraternities want to address bystander behavior  Fraternity men will listen to fraternity men, especially fraternity leaders  Educate in small groups  Keep fraternities separate, to promote in-depth conversation.  Men don’t understand consent

 Advisor to Fraternity/Sorority Life  Professional Staff  Leaders in fraternities and sororities  Commitment  Buy in  Support  Strategic in assigning presentations, recruiting interns and professional staff.

 Training Members  Choosing a Model  Planning the Education  Signing up Fraternities
