We, as AEPhi sisters, are against the Safe Campus Act, which would reduce justice for sexual assault victims by making reporting an extremely more difficult process.
Why is this important?
We are starting this petition because we believe that all people should feel safe on their college campuses. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 16 men are sexually assaulted in college. Less than 10% of those assaults are reported. If we make this process any more difficult, as this bill is attempting to do through mandated reporting to police forces, we will be endangering the future of our college students. We do not believe that Alpha Epsilon Phi, or any sorority or fraternal council should support this endangerment.
