"  Greek Life organizations at  George Washington University are educating members about how to intervene during sexual assault. Through the use of reenactments of sexual assault scenarios and videos, alcohol education specialists are visiting fraternity houses to teach the members &amp;quot;how to intervene without worrying about being judged or resented by their friends.&amp;quot;  GWU&amp;#039;s Center for Alcohol and other Drug Education formed a bystander intervention program to teach fraternity members \u2014 and all students \u2014 that the top priority when finding someone in trouble is to first remove the woman from the dangerous situation. Punishment of the aggressor comes afterward.  The new program isn&amp;#039;t directly related to any recent incidents, but the police investigated four reports of sexual assault in fraternity houses on the GW campus in 2012 and 2013. Matt Scott, campus president of Students Against Sexual Assault, told the school paper, &amp;quot;Greeks definitely recognize that their community needs the education to occur because statistically speaking, beyond GW, nationwide and anywhere, the Greek community is more susceptible to having sexual assault perpetrated within it.&amp;quot; According to a 2013 study published in the Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, fraternity members are more likely than non-Greeks to get drunk and assault a woman. By holding these seminars in fraternity houses, GW&amp;#039;s Greek organizations recognize their responsibility in helping to prevent sexual assault.
