The FSL Wellness Advocates strive to host monthly events to educate the fraternity and sorority community. Our events include topics regarding academic performance, challenging the fraternity/sorority stereotype, hazing prevention, alcohol awareness, healthy relationships, nutrition/exercising/stress management, sexual assault awareness, and many more.
All FSL Wellness Advocates go through a 12-hour training to become a peer educator. The training is an eight-module course through NASPA and the BACCHUS Network. This training covers the following topics:
Understanding the Power, Roles, and Characteristics of Quality Peer Educators
Affecting and Understanding “Change Making” as a Peer Educator
Being an Effective Listener as a Peer Educator
A Peer Educator’s Role in Responding to Crisis
Bystander Intervention as a Peer Education Technique
