With an overwhelming number of sexual assault survivors being women, it's important for our council to take an active stance against sexual assault and raise awareness. When asked about the importance of the week, current Panhellenic President Kinsey Landry said, "The Panhellenic Council is an organization for women led by women. Everyone is encouraged to sign the official It's On Us pledge, which will then put their name on the pledge list on the official website. The It's On Us campus campaign has over 82 sponsors and aims to reach a broader base of the population through its pledge and awareness efforts. The aim in hosting this week is to provide opportunities to support survivors, provide educational opportunities, educate individuals on consent, debunk various myths surrounding sexual assault and sexual violence, and to bring awareness to the problem. The campaign serves as an opportunity for students to be a part of the solution. It's On Us asks everyone to step up and realize they can help end sexual assault. It's On Us, launched in 2014, began as a campaign started by the White House under former President Barack Obama and then-Vice President Joe Biden, to raise awareness and help put an end to sexual assault on college campuses. We all can play a major role by stepping up, stepping in and speaking out to stop sexual assault. "This includes working with both faculty and staff to create a change. "Our goal is to continue providing educational opportunities and resources for all U of A students to prevent sexual assault," said Parice S. The Charlie & Cappy Whiteside Greek Life Leadership Center is proud to announce its annual It's On Us Week to be held Oct. 3 - 7 on the U of A campus.
