The Women's Resource Center began a month-long effort to raise awareness about sexual assault Monday night with the fourth annual Take Back the Night, an international women's activist movement with the goal of making women feel comfortable being out at night.
This year's event at Sacramento State broke from the traditional format of ending with a march across campus in lieu of sending participants, mostly from the Greek system, to local bars to pass out coasters labeled with facts about the connection between alcohol, drugs and sexual assault.
Pi Kappa Epsilon, The Queer Straight Alliance, Sigma Pi Alpha, Sigma Omicron Pi and Tau Kappa Epsilon all participated in the event. Sigma Phi Epsilon was registered, but did not attend the event.
Each group approached bars with the idea of passing out the coasters and asked permission to do so on Monday night.
Too bad the guys from Cal Theta couldn't make it.
