Greek task force seeks community involvement
DALTON KINGERY
@Daltonkingnews
The greek sexual assault task force will hold its second meeting of the semester on Monday. Although the time and location of the meeting is still undecided because of scheduling issues, the task force will build on the discussions of the first meeting and continue to develop their ideas for addressing sexual assault in the Greek community.

The task force is encouraging all members of the greek community to attend the task force's meetings and be involved in the proceedings.
Members of the greek sexual assault task force, like Colin Thomas, will meet for the second time this semester on Monday.
"One of the most crucial elements of the task force is that it is open to any and every member of the greek community," said Maggie Young, president of the KU Panhellenic Association and a senior Chi Omega from Olathe. "If you care about this issue and if you are passionate about it, and you want to see and be a part of the change, you are more than welcome to come and be a part of it."
Young said that the meetings are not open to the public and that this decision was made because the task force is focusing on changing greek-specific issues and education, not those of the University as a whole.
"Sitting by idly and waiting for the storm to pass isn't an approach that we felt was responsible," said Morgan Said, student body president and a member of the task force. "We decided that the best way to combat this issue in our community was to do so in a student-to-student manner."
Although the task force is still in the process of developing and discussing ideas, one idea that has gained significant traction within the task force is to have each chapter in the University's greek community develop a position statement for their chapter regarding sexual assault, in addition to adhering to a framework of education and programming being developed by the task force.
Kevin Simpson, president of the Interfraternity Council,
emphasized the importance of allowing each chapter to develop their own plans and internally examine their handling of sexual assault education, noting that each chapter has a different culture and environment.
"We're going to develop a skeleton for how we feel chapters should craft their educational plan for sexual assault, but then we're really going to work with the chapters," said Simpson, a senior from Mission Hills. "We didn't want to just say 'here's how every single chapter has to do this,' because that's sort of a broad brush approach."
"Education on what exactly consent is, and education on how we can change the way our organizations are set up to help prevent sexual assault and protect our members, along with everyone else on campus," said Koppers, a senior from Leawood.
Nikki Koppers, director of public relations for the Panhellenic Association, said that the one of the end goals of the task force is education.
Will Nye, the director of public relations for the IFC
and a member of the task force, acknowledges that the formation of the task force may seem reactionary to some, but that it is in reality a progressive development that will address longstanding issues in the greek community.
"We don't want to make it seem better," said Nye, a junior from Dallas. "We want to make it better."
Nye added that the task force is an oversight body, not an enforcement body; the task force will decide what their standards are, and then it will be up to individual chapters to meet them.
Although the task force is still in the early stages of changing how things are done in the University's greek community, Said said that the support from within the greek community for the task force has been heartening for its members
"Seeing the strength and support in our community has been astounding, and it's nothing like I've seen here in my four years in the greek community," said Said.
