Programming & Education
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.

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 Christ Wessels at caw408@lehigh.edu
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.

Greeks Against Sexual Violence
Beginning in the Spring 2009 semester, several Greek leaders took on the issue of sexual violence facing their community and the greater Lehigh campus. Working with the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Affairs, Residence Life and the Women's Center, these students are assessing what is currently in place at Lehigh, researching best practices nationwide, creating space for dialogue in their chapter houses, and finding ways to partner Greek and independent students against sexual violence.For more information on Greeks Against Sexual Violence , please contact Veronica Hunter at vmh207@lehigh.edu
