College students are busier today than ever before. Not only are there a higher number of students enrolled than ever before, but course loads are growing and academic competition is fierce. College campuses offer a myriad of student groups to join and social and philanthropic events to attend. More and more, students’ time is limited and they must purposefully decide where to give their time.

This scenario is true for students at the University of Texas at Austin, which boasts more than 50,000 students across undergraduate and graduate programs. So when Texas Alpha Katie Bostic heard about a student group, Not On My Campus, that was really making an impact on her campus, she wanted to get involved.

Not On My Campus is a student-led movement to end the silence surrounding sexual assault and engage students in conversations that challenge preconceived notions of rape and abuse. The organization started at Southern Methodist University in 2013 and has grown to other campuses at an exponential rate, in large part because of viral social media campaigns. Some of the most memorable images from the campaigns feature men and women with their palms extended with the words “Not On My Campus” written in black Sharpie marker.

The organization has also grown because of its relevancy. Studies have shown that sexual violence is pervasive on today’s college campuses. Among undergraduate students, 23.1 percent of females and 5.4 percent of males experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence or incapacitation, according to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization. There is no singular definition of sexual assault or sexual violence; there terms encompass many different acts. But the high rate of sexual assault has become something we cannot ignore.

As part of Not On My Campus, Katie serves in the organization’s advisory board. Each fraternity and sorority has up to two representatives on the board. Katie participates in workshops and trainings around sexual assault and how to educate other students about consent, bystander behavior and other areas of prevention education. Katie and her Pi Phi partner on the board then present workshops at Texas Alpha Chapter meetings. They also present more in-depth workshops at crucial times for college students, like during the first few weeks of freshman year (at Texas Alpha’s Pi Beta Phi New Member Education Program meetings) and before Spring Break. The main goal of the workshops is to raise awareness about sexual assault and provide the women with tools to be smart in higher-risk situations, like social gatherings where alcohol is served.

“It’s been really rewarding to be a part of the organization, especially to be able to present to my Pi Phi sisters,” Katie said. “You never think sexual assault could happen, especially to you. I know the numbers were shocking when I first heard them. I realized it’s a huge issue and so many women, like me, assume it doesn’t happen. But it does. Because of that, I wanted to share ways to prevent sexual assault and resources in case sexual assault does occur. It’s a really great cause and I’m especially glad I can help my sisters through this cause.”
