Recreational Drugs: Recreational drugs are chemical substances taken for enjoyment, or leisure purposes, rather than for medical reasons. Greek Life: Social organizations for mostly undergraduate students. Typically, Greek letter organizations are gender-based initiatory organizations. Fraternity refers to a male membership, whereas sorority refers to a female membership. Peer Pressure & International Students Peer Pressure: positive and/or negative influence from members of one's peer group. There are two types of peer pressure: Spoken (direct) and Unspoken (indirect) Why can it be difficult to resist peer pressure? ● are afraid of being rejected by friends ● want to be accepted and don't want to lose a friend ● don't want to be teased ● unfamiliar with new culture ● don't know how to get out of the particular situation. “To many international students, the maintenance of traditional values could serve as an important role in protecting their self-esteem and sense of worth.” (Spaulding & Flack, 1976) How to Combat Peer Pressure 1. Think about your values and trust yourself. If you need to compromise your values to be friends with someone, you do not need someone like that in your life. a. Know before hand what you do and don’t want to do. 2. Stop things when you start to feel uncomfortable. Never push someone else to do anything they don’t feel comfortable with. 3. Clearly state your feelings. 4. Point out the consequences. 5. Suggest something else to do. CASE SCENARIO It is the weekend before the Fall Semester officially starts, and you are at a fraternity party. You notice that your friend A is very intoxicated and you think they might need some medical help. When you bring it up to your group of friends, they say to leave A alone because you don’t want to cause any trouble in a fraternity house. Your friends tell you to forget about the drunk friend A and just have fun during the night. You notice an unknown student B approaching your friend A, and taking A upstairs. A seems very enthusiastic about going up with B. You don’t know what B’s intentions are. 1. What does peer pressure look like in this situation? 2. Why could it be difficult for you to resist peer pressure? 3. How would you combat peer pressure in this situation? Sexual Assault VOCABULARY ▪ Survivor/Victim – The individual who was sexually assaulted. ▪ Perpetrator – The individual who commits misconduct. ▪ Ally – The individual who consciously strives towards promoting justice and disrupting and ending misconduct. Sexual Assault “Any form of unwanted sexual contact obtained without consent and/or obtained through the use of force, threat of force, intimidation, or coercion.” - SAPAC Consent: Whose Responsibility? The duty for establishing consent falls on the initiator of sexual contact. A: Get consent B: Establish that consent isn’t distorted. C: Remain alert to changes. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Requirements for Consent ▪ Explicit Agreement ▪ Without force/threat/intimidation/coercion ▪ With Feeling ▪ With Awareness ▪ Confirmed by the Initiator ▪ Not Subsequently Withdrawn ▪ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGoWLWS4-kU Alcohol and Consent Alcohol is the substance used most frequently used to facilitate sexual assault.(Campus Sexual Assault Study, National Institute of Justice, 2007) ▪ Alcohol use may raise certain expectations about gender under the influence of alcohol. Men/masculine individuals may feel as though they are expected to be sexually/physically aggressive, and may also accept beliefs about the sexual availability of women/feminine individuals who drink. ▪ Intoxication may make someone physically and/or mentally less able to resist an assault. It is important to remember that an inability or unwillingness to resist does NOT make an assault the survivor’s fault. ▪ Alcohol is often used by perpetrators as an excuse for their actions, and as an attempt to shift responsibility for the assault away from themselves and onto the survivor. So what if someone has been drinking? A good guideline to follow in all sexual situations, especially those that involve alcohol, is that the person who increases the level/intensity of the sexual activity is responsible for making sure that all parties are capable of giving consent, and that consent is being given.
