  3. 20:1 FRATERNITY SEXUAL ASSAULT EDUCATION PROGRAM How we got started: • Reports from Hospitals • Focus Groups with Sorority Leaders • Focus Groups with Fraternity Leaders • Setting up the Peer Education Program

  5. 20:1 • FRATERNITY FOCUS GROUP: • Focus Group Goal: • To plan a sexual assault education program for fraternities that is meaningful to fraternity men and to gain an understanding of the fraternity male perception of the sexual assault problem on this campus.

  6. 20:1 • 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?

  7. 20:1 • WHAT WAS LEARNED: • Men don’t understand consent. • 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.

  8. 20:1 • DEVOLOPING THE PEER EDUCATION PROGRAM: • Recruiting Members • Training Members • Choosing a Model • Planning the Education • Signing up Fraternities

  9. 20:1 • THE MODEL: • Consent: Alan Berkowitz and Bret Sokolow • Bystander Behavior: Alan Berkowitz • The Men’s Program: John Foubert; William and Mary, Men talking to Men about Sexual Assault

  11. POSITIVE OUTCOMES: • Fraternities receptive to 20:1 • Majority of Fraternities Educated • New Member Education Fall/Spring • Consent Addressed in Meaningful Way • Relationships Built

  12. 20:1 • COMMENTS FROM FRATERNITIES: • “Challenged Perspective on Consent” • “Gained Awareness about Sexual Assault” • “New Understanding about Consent” • “Eye Opening Presentation” • “Made me Think about Sexual Assault in a Different Way”

  13. 20:1 • NEXT STEPS: • Recruit New Members • Develop Application/Mission Statement • Interview Process • Tier Education Program for Fraternities • Public Service Announcements

  14. 20:1 • MISSION STATEMENT: • Founded in 2004-2005 at Binghamton University, 20:1 is a group of fraternity men on campus that voluntarily educate other fraternity men and other men as well, on issues regarding sexual assault.
