At Tufts, fundraiser for Boston Area Rape Crisis Center

At Tufts University, in Medford, the Panhellenic Council (which oversees on-campus sororities and fraternities) has taken the initiative to raise money for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC). The Walk for Change is being held in two weeks, on April 11, to "raise awareness about sexual violence." The article says how April is Sexual Awareness Month, and how its really important that all-female sororities spread the word about a somewhat taboo but incredible important topic. The BARCC offers free help to women who have been victims of sexual assault, and I think it's really important that all young women in such a college-rich city like Boston know of its existence. You can watch Law and Order: SVU for hours and still never think it can happen to you, so it's beneficial for knowledge about this important service to be out there.
