UCLA Greek Programs and Initiatives... All-Greek Educational Forums: These annual campus forums and follow-up workshops allow the entire Greek community to gather together and address pertinent social issues. Recent programs include: nationally well-known speakers on diversity, sexual assault and date rape, HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness, hate crimes, and alcohol/substance use and abuse. GAMMA: Greeks Advocating Mature Management of Alcohol designs workshops and educational sessions on alcohol use and abuse, monitors Greek social events, develops resources, and works with UCPD to promote responsible behavior and safety. GASA: Greeks Against Sexual Assault is an organization of Greek men and women that is dedicated to the education, awareness, and prevention of sexual assault on campus. The "not in our house" campaign sponsored by GASA is just one initiative that brings forward dialogue on this important campus issue.New Member Forums: Meetings are designed for all new sorority and fraternity members to discuss current issues affecting the community. Small group and panel discussion allows new members to meet other students while addressing key issues of concern such as hazing, personal responsibility, risk management, sexual assault, homophobia, and racial sensitivity. Judicial Boards: Peer Judicial Boards are student-run groups that hear cases of violations of policy, such as the IFC/Panhellenic Risk Management and Social Conduct Policies, and impose sanctions. Health & Wellness Educational Programs and Classes: Programs are coordinated and sponsored to promote health and wellness among members. Topics explored through these programs include nutrition and fitness workshops, breast cancer awareness, and sexual health discussions. Leader Retreats, Roundtable Discussions, and Training's: Various activities are designed to bring fraternity and sorority leaders together to set community goals, plan activities, and develop personal leadership skills. These events provide students with opportunities to discuss campus issues and promote awareness and understanding on University policies, regulations, and applicable laws. Alumni Advisor Education Series (AAES): This education series is designed for alumni volunteers with the goal to assist and facilitate alumni advisors in acquiring the skills and information necessary to effectively work with today's undergraduate fraternity and sorority. The program is made available to all alumni volunteers of our Greek-letter organizations established at the University of California, Los Angeles.
