“…Research indicates that fraternity and sorority members are overrepresented as perpetrators and victims of sexual assault, respectively, on college campuses (Franklin, 2010;Humphrey & Kahn, 2000;Minow & Einolf, 2009;Murnen & Kohlman, 2007;Norris et al, 1996). Studies have found that fraternity members are significantly more likely than non-members to use sexual assault tactics (e.g., verbal coercion, physical force, and drug and alcohol facilitation) (Lackie & Anton, 1997;Tharp et al, 2013).…”

“…The increased likelihood of sexual assault perpetration by fraternity members disproportionately impacts sorority women (Franklin, 2010;Minow & Einolf, 2009;Norris, et al, 1996). Studies show that sorority women are between four and five times more likely to be sexually assaulted than non-affiliated women (Franklin, 2010;Minow & Einolf, 2009).…”

“…Studies show that sorority women are between four and five times more likely to be sexually assaulted than non-affiliated women (Franklin, 2010;Minow & Einolf, 2009). One factor that has been examined as a possible explanation for the elevated risk of perpetration and victimization among Greek affiliated students is their attitudes about rape, including the endorsement of rape myths (Carroll et al, 2016;Bannon, Brosi, & McMahon, 2010).…”

“…McMahon (2010) also found that regardless of gender, students who were more accepting of rape myths were significantly less likely to intervene and be an active bystander. Since sorority women are disproportionately at risk for sexual victimization (Franklin, 2010;Minow & Einolf, 2009), it is critically important to examine how their attitudes about rape may be associated with their willingness to intervene and help a fellow 'sister' who is in a risky situation that could lead to sexual assault.…”

“…However, as more college campuses seek to adopt bystander intervention programs, it is increasingly important to research potential barriers to their effectiveness across different demographic groups and institutional contexts. Given that fraternity and sorority members are overrepresented as perpetrators and victims of sexual assault, respectively (Franklin, 2010;Humphrey & Kahn, 2000;Minow & Einolf, 2009;Murnen & Kohlman, 2007;Norris, Nurius, & Dimeff, 1996), it is critically important to examine potential barriers to their willingness to intervene.…”

This work has undergone a double-blind review by a minimum of two faculty members from institutions of higher learning from around the world. The faculty reviewers have expertise in disciplines closely related to those represented by this work. If possible, the work was also reviewed by undergraduates in collaboration with the faculty reviewers. AbstractFraternity and sorority members are overrepresented as perpetrators and victims of sexual assault, respectively. The current study examined rape myth acceptance, bystander attitudes, and bystander efficacy across four groups: sorority women, fraternity men, non-affiliated women, and non-affiliated men. Data were collected from 912 college undergraduates. Greek affiliated students were more accepting of rape myths than non-affiliated students. There were no differences in bystander attitudes based on Greek affiliation; however, Greek affiliated students did report significantly lower bystander efficacy than non-affiliated students. Sorority women and fraternity men reported no differences in their acceptance of rape myths or bystander efficacy; however, sorority women did report higher bystander attitudes than fraternity men. Based on the findings, it is recommended that prevention practitioners work to change norms within fraternities and sororities to promote a social identity that is associated with gender equality and a willingness, perhaps even an obligation, to intervene in risky situations.

Research has documented the profound negative impact of betrayal within experiences of interpersonal trauma such as sexual assault (Freyd, 1994, 1996; Freyd, DePrince, & Gleaves, 2007). In the current study of college women (N = 345, 79% Caucasian; mean age = 19.69 years, SD = 2.55), we examined whether institutional failure to prevent sexual assault or respond supportively when it occurs may similarly exacerbate posttraumatic symptomatology-what we call "institutional betrayal." Almost half (47%) of the women reported at least one coercive sexual experience and another 21% reported no coercion, but at least one unwanted sexual experience (total reporting unwanted sexual experiences, N = 233). Institutional betrayal (e.g., creating an environment where these experiences seemed more likely, making it difficult to report these experiences) was reported across different unwanted sexual experiences (47% and 45% of women reporting coercion and no coercion, respectively). Those women who reported institutional betrayal surrounding their unwanted sexual experience reported increased levels of anxiety (R(2) = .10), trauma-specific sexual symptoms (R(2) = .17), dissociation (R(2) = .11), and problematic sexual functioning (R(2) = .12). These results suggest that institutions have the power to cause additional harm to assault survivors.
