PERCEPTIONS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE BY INTERFRATERITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

The present secondary data analysis was completed based upon an explanatory sequential mixed methods study, which explores the perceptions of sexual violence on campus among Interfraternity Council (IFC) members. Through a survey of 271 individuals and thematic coding of focus group responses from 10 individuals, participants demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of sexual violence, emphasizing consent, clear communication, and proactive risk management within their chapters. They recognize the shared responsibility among chapters, the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office (FSL), and the university in preventing sexual violence. Participants’ responses align with the sexual violence continuum framework, emphasizing proactive measures, prevention, and intervention. Implications for practice highlight the need for ongoing education, collaboration, and comprehensive support services. Recommendations for future research include evaluating safety measures, exploring peer-led programming, examining survivor support services, and conducting longitudinal studies. By implementing recommended practices and addressing research gaps, universities can foster a safer and more inclusive campus environment. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into sexual violence within the fraternity and sorority community, guiding prevention efforts and support for survivors. / Educational Administration
