Fraternities and sororities at the University of California, Berkeley have taken a bold stance against sexual violence, voluntarily banning all parties following reports of two sexual assaults last week at off-campus frat functions. Berkeley police say that two female students reported alleged assaults at off-campus fraternity parties last weekend. The UC Berkeley administration has also received attention and criticism for its handling of sexual harassment cases involving high-profile faculty members. Members of all fraternities and sororities will meet this weekend to discuss safety measures related to sexual violence, alcohol consumption and other issues. After a reported sexual assault at Emory University in Atlanta in 2014, the Intrafraternity Council there also issued a self-imposed suspension of all social activities.
