By now you've probably seen the headlines out of Cornell University. A former student has filed a civil lawsuit alleging she was given drugs and sexually assaulted by seven fraternity members over several hours in October 2024 — and that a Snapchat message invited others into the room. No one has been criminally charged, two of the men deny the allegations through their attorneys, and the district attorney has now reopened the investigation.

We won't try this case on social media. But one detail should stop all of us: according to the lawsuit, a fraternity group chat with dozens of members saw messages about what was happening.

Most harm doesn't happen in secret. It happens around people who notice something — and decide it isn't their business.

So ask yourself tonight: if a message like that landed in YOUR group chat — your friends, your team, your coworkers — what would you do?

Screenshot it. Call it out. Call for help. Silence is a choice too.

This isn't just for college kids. Girls' night, concerts, weddings, work trips, the neighborhood party — grown-ups need a plan too.

Your weekend safety plan:
🍍 Pick a code word or emoji that means "get me out of here" — no questions asked
📍 Share locations for the night with your crew
🥂 Watch each other's drinks — and don't accept one you didn't see poured
🚫 No one leaves impaired with someone they just met
👁 Choose one "eyes-open" friend who stays sharp and checks on everyone

It's not paranoia. It's just being a good friend.

Reporting has shown that the student in the Cornell case spoke with campus police about three weeks after the alleged assault. We're not here to judge the case — that's for investigators and courts.

But we want everyone to understand something about sexual violence in general:

Share this so the next person who discloses is met with belief.

Delayed reporting is common. People wait because of shock, fear, self-blame, not being sure they'll be believed, or memory gaps from alcohol, drugs, or trauma itself. Many survivors minimize what happened at first — especially if they'd been drinking.

When someone tells you matters far less than THAT they told you.

If someone discloses to you — even years later — start with: "I believe you. Thank you for telling me."

Behind every call to our hotline is a real person — trained, compassionate, and ready to listen. Our advocates show up for survivors at 2pm and 2am alike, on holidays, weekends, and everything in between.

This weekend, we’re grateful for every volunteer and staff member who makes that possible. If you’ve ever thought about volunteering with PRCC, this is your sign. 💜

Support should feel like it’s actually for you. If you’re a male survivor looking for resources, here are a few places to start:

📞 PRCC’s confidential hotline — for survivors of every gender
📖 1in6.org — resources and an online helpline built specifically for men
🤝 Local & national support groups for male survivors

You don’t have to have all the words figured out to reach out. Just start where you are. 💙

Being an active bystander isn’t only about weekend plans. It shows up at work, at school, and online, too:

💬 Speak up if a joke or comment crosses a line
📋 Know your workplace or school’s reporting process
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Check in privately with a coworker or classmate who seems off
📚 Ask your HR or school to bring in prevention training — like PRCC’s

Culture change happens one conversation at a time. 🧡

There’s no timeline for healing after sexual violence. Some days feel lighter. Some days don’t. Both are normal, and neither means you’re doing it wrong.

Whatever your healing looks like right now, PRCC is here — for the hard days, the good days, and everything in between. 💜

Cost should never be the reason someone doesn’t get support. Every service PRCC offers — counseling, advocacy, medical accompaniment, and more — is completely free and confidential.

You don’t need insurance. You don’t need to have reported anything to anyone. You just need to reach out whenever you’re ready. 💜

Whether you’re at a party, a bar, or a tailgate this weekend, small habits keep everyone safer:

🔹 Check in with friends throughout the night
🔹 Watch drinks — yours and theirs
🔹 If someone seems too impaired to consent, help them get somewhere safe
🔹 Trust your gut if something feels off — and act on it

Looking out for each other is one of the easiest ways to prevent harm before it happens. 🧡
