Programming & Education

Bystander Intervention

Bystander intervention and advocacy is an area that the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs (OFSA) is committed and passionate about enhancing within the Greek and Lehigh community. With new and dynamic programming added each year, this concept empowers students to be proactive when confronting issues of hazing, sexual assault, inclusion and social justice in general. Using the powerful intervention program RESPONSE ABILITY, the OFSA, in cojunction with other University Offices, is equipped to assist students in feeling empowered to take action and intervene on behalf of their values and beliefs. For more information on Bystander Intervention Programming, please contact Rebecca Davison at rjd212@lehigh.edu

Courageous Conversations

Courageous Conversations strives to enhance student's understanding of societal constructs and privilege and to increase students belief in their ability to engage in difficult conversations, address intolerance successfully, and positively affect cultural and climate change.  The current framework is developed around topics including heterosexism, genderism, and racism.  For more information about Courageous Conversations or to schedule the series with your chapter, please contact Ashly Baudouin at amb512@lehigh.edu

Greek Allies Program

The goal of the Greek Allies program is to provide a communicative outlet for current Greeks who struggle with LGBTQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Ally) issues, to support students who identify as LGBTQIA who are interested in Greek Life at Lehigh, and to offer educational programs and panels for students who want to learn more about what it means to be Out and Greek. For more information about the Greek Allies program, please contact Ashley Baudouin at amb512@lehigh.edu

Hebrews on the Hill

Hebrews on the Hill is Lehigh's Jewish Greek community and fosters a welcoming Jewish atmosphere across all of our sororities and fraternities.  From Shabbat dinners on the Hill to celebrations of Jewish holidays, our events offer inclusive opportunities to get to know other Jewish Greeks and to deepen an appreciation of Jewish tradition and culture.  If you're interested in learning more about Hebrews on the Hill, please email injlife@lehigh.edu.

Peer Values Educators

The Peer Values Educators are upper class student representatives of the fraternity and sorority community who serve as positive peer role models and facilitate interactive workshops for the campus population.  As a student-driven initiative, a group of individuals came together in the fall 2008 semester to develop dynamic programs that allow for open and honest conversations among students on a variety of topics including alcohol, hazing, and bystander intervention.   The fall 2009 semester will be the official unveiling of this initiative.
