 Good evening and welcome to beer with a Brit. I'm your host Max Brimelow joining me today for Cal TV news is President of the student body Eric Berger welcome Eric. Thank you. I'm Not president of the student body though. Oh shit I'm president of the IFC. Do you know what that is? IFC is one of the smallest sororities Wow So Women can't have parties at sororities is that right? Yes, sororities don't have parties the same way fraternities have parties That seems like that wouldn't appeal to the modern feminist How would you respond to accusations that fraternities are often responsible for sexual assaults? you know that's a really taxing and Comprehensive issue that we've been working on with IFC and with the various other Greek councils for a long time While it's statistically true that Sexual assault seems more prominent in the college community and the Greek community in particular at Berkeley I think we have a really unique culture where a lot of us are willing to come together on a more united front and take proactive measures That other universities around the nation wouldn't be willing to take not only to prevent sexual assault But to make our members more conscientious of the issues around it Okay, that's that is that is interesting Can anyone join do you have to be white? Oh my god. Do you know what Greek life means? Yeah, people from Greece Right not a pin What is the IFC and the PHC doing to reduce risks for the future? Best way we can manage our risk efficiently is to do it Unitedly and in an organized way all of our members are required to go through a relatively extensive process of training It's really about not letting people just go off the chains and do anything and everything They want to but make sure that people are still allowed to have fun While we're making sure we have people behind the scenes watching and and looking over everybody Have you ever heard of a pledge sandwich? Nope So some Southern fraternities have apparently wrapped one of their pledges in between two mattresses and Then thrown them off a roof They would get in trouble but but issues that involve a zuny You're tenting You're you're tenting right now. He loves this. This is a this is an English term. I don't know what tenting means Okay, Eric. Thanks so much for joining me today. It's been a pleasure Taking these back to my room
