Prevention Award Winners

As a result of implementing their plan and correctly applying the Prevention Framework, these chapters were able to see a significant positive change in their GLE data because of their prevention plan. Their impacts were grouped into 3 main categories:

Membership Experience

These chapters had a significant decrease in the number of negative member to member interactions (mean girl behavior, bullying, etc.).

  • Alpha Iota, Northeastern State University
  • Gamma Iota, University of Massachusetts Amherst
  • Pi, Emporia State University

Healthier Drinking Habits

These chapters focused on making better personal choices if a member chooses to drink, and as a result, decreasing high-risk or problematic drinking behaviors in their chapter.

  • Alpha Zeta, Northwestern State University
  • Epsilon Gamma, Grand Valley State University

Intervention

As a result of focusing on communication skills, building relationships, and enhancing intervention skills, these chapters saw an increase in upstander behaviors. Members recognized the need to intervene sooner to prevent more harmful behaviors. For example, increasing confidence in intervening to address high-risk behaviors (alcohol, hazing, controlled substances, sexual violence) or decreased fears of calling 911.
