RADFORD (WSLS 10) - Controversy erupted at Radford University after a sexual assault prevention program attracted a lopsided crowd. The student-led council over campus sororities, the Panhellenic Council, mandated every sorority sister to attend. Panhellenic Council president Kaitlyn Julien said she received hundreds of calls and text messages from outraged sorority members. "I definitely think it's just as important, if not more important, to the men," Craig said. The Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council all contributed money to bring the Men Can Stop Rape program to Radford University.
