Create an arena where contacts between the Greek community and the oncampus community can meet and discuss safety issues that affect both Greek and non-Greek students, particularly in relation to living areas. We organized a Safety Forum for Greek students on Sunday, March 20th to hold open dialogue surrounding three main discussion points and the future outlook of Greek safety considerations. The three discussion topics covered include having representative members share recent experiences of theft or crime near Greek houses, concerns surrounding safety of members currently and those anticipated in the future, and suggestions for avoiding problem spots and situations. We will host a Department of Public Safety OfBicer to Bield relevant concerns and questions, offer additional tips and insight to students, and so DPS may become further informed of the issues as represented by a student perspective. Then we will encourage “potential further conversations” between Greek organizations, DPS, and the Safety Committee following the example set by this initial Forum. These future discussions will be overseen and managed by a Greek member from each group appointed Safety Representative. This representative will keep in touch with other groups’ safety person, be particularly mindful of their members concerns, and communicate such as needed to keep all bodies informed. Important points discussed will be synthesized and written up for publication on the new Electronic Template, SafeLink so the insights may be shared and further acknowledged by students. Finally, we further addressed the need for safety concerns to be voiced and considered throughout the Greek Community through work with the Greek Affairs Student Government Committee and in presenting at the Greek All president's meeting on Monday, February 28th. For more information contact Ben Badgley, Kaitlyn Barnes, Jamison Carpenter, or Meghan Cannon.
Construct pathways to collectively report problems and discuss safety and security issues from respective off-campus living communities to both the Chapel Hill and UNC community so that preventative steps can be taken together to avoid violations of safety measures around campus. Particular attention is given to “living” tips on the Electronic Template (SafeLink) with speciBic considerations given for off-‐campus student situations and events. Complaints were compiled from attending Chapel Hill community watch meetings and discussing off-‐campus concerns with crime prevention Chapel Hill police ofBicers within various districts with highly concentrated student populations.
