Sexual Assault & Gender-Based Violence

Kappa Alpha Theta is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment free from sexual assault and gender-based violence. Kappa Alpha Theta condemns and will not tolerate sexual assault and/or gender-based violence, as such behavior is not in alignment with our values, adversely impacts our members, and violates expectations of membership. We believe Kappa Alpha Theta members have a role to play in addressing and preventing sexual assault and gender-based violence by:
- Supporting survivors of sexual misconduct and sexual violence;
- Committing to engaging members in prevention and intervention efforts;
- Not supporting events contributing to the objectification/sexualization of groups of people, including women, or the reinforcement of restrictive gender roles;
- Working to connect members to resources to prevent sexual misconduct and sexual violence, as well as resources for those members who are survivors of interpersonal violence; and
- Partnering with subject matter experts to provide education, engage in prevention efforts, and serve as catalysts for change within chapters’ campus/communities on an ongoing, regular basis.
