Kenyora Parham, CEO of End Rape on Campus, and Ciera Blehm, CEO of the Survivor Fund, started the Centering the Survivor Podcast in October, 2024. In this episode of Civil LiberTrees, Catherine, Emma, and Vinny join them to discuss the role of the institution in preventing sexual violence, with particular attention to the role of Greek Life on campus—both positive and negative. They discuss how campus sexual violence persists despite formal policies, and why survivor-centered tools—like financial support funds and accountability maps—are essential. The conversation explores free speech barriers, online and institutional backlash, and the additional obstacles faced by survivors with marginalized identities. Undergraduate students quickly rotate in and out of institutions, but by highlighting their individual experiences, any institution can pave the way for others to follow in their footsteps, counteracting complacency and challenging the narrative by Centering the Survivor. If you want to learn more about the Centering the Survivor Series Podcast, follow them on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Trigger Warning: This episode contains mentions of sexual violence and assault.

In episode 672 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Leah chose Texas Tech, how credit cards shaped her relationship with money, what are the biggest mistakes college students are making with money, how financial decisions are shaped by environment and relationships, how things can go wrong financially in Greek Life, what financial system should college students be using, how important financial skills are in someone's career, how college students can build wealth after graduation, one story from her television show "Maxxed Out" that really stands out, and how her programs are different from the traditional financial literacy programs.

On this episode of Mad Rush, Trisha interviews creator and consultant Libby Amber Shayo (New York University at Buffalo, BFA in acting). Libby shares how she leveraged camp friendships, Facebook groups, and the Accepted Students Weekend to network and meet people in Greek life before committing to college, including hosting a first-night dorm meetup with dozens of girls. She describes joining a sorority during spring recruitment because of credit requirements, choosing a different chapter than her close roommate, and how not having a car helped her build connections across pledge classes through rides and one-on-one time with older sisters. Libby introduces her concept of the “brotherhood of the sisterhood,” explaining how fraternity friendships became a lasting support system—showing up to her theater performances, forming informal “family” ties, and traveling to major life events like her formal 300-person wedding (including a taco station and sombreros). She also recounts her career pivot during COVID after interviews in talent management/casting were canceled, going viral on TikTok with Jewish-mom comedy, running brand and Jewish organization accounts, launching the Schmuck Boys podcast about Jewish dating and identity, and later working in agencies on major snack and wellness brands before going full-time as a creator. Libby explains her event content creation business model—capturing phone-shot footage and delivering b-roll plus an edited reel quickly (often within 24 hours), choreographing TikTok trends at events, and applying the same approach to her own short, five-month engagement wedding planning and related content. The episode closes with where to find her online (LibbyAmberShay) and Trisha's notes on confidence, connection-building, and pre-ordering her upcoming book, The Rush Bible.

Accountability in Fraternity and Sorority Chapters is a reality! Darrian Stringer serves as the Interfraternity Coordinator at Mississippi State University. He began this role in May of 2024 and has been a higher education professional for the last two years. Previously he worked as a chapter consultant for The Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity. Darrian oversaw 16 chapters in the Northwest and Great Plains, assisted 9 chapters in recruitment efforts, and finally established a provisional chapter at Pepperdine University. In 2023, he received his bachelor's degree in journalism with a focus in broadcast from the University of South Alabama. During his time as an Intern at WKRG Channel Five News in Mobile, Alabama, he learned all the necessary skills to excel as an anchor, reporter, MMJ, or sports reporter. His experience before becoming a chapter consultant taught him valuable skills such as how to interview someone efficiently, edit and produce using Adobe Premiere Pro, serve as on-air talent, and even write scripts for the afternoon sports segment. In episode 586 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Darrian chose the University of South Alabama for his undergraduate experience, what made him choose Pi Kappa Alpha over the other fraternities on campus, how to build a healthy and sustainable chapter culture, how to create a values-based experience while still having fun, how to build accountability in fraternity and sorority chapters, how fraternities and sororities can work more effectively with local reporters to boost their PR, how to manage chapter reputation during difficult situations, and advice on how to rebuild chapter culture after a rough year.

In this week's episode of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, Izzy teams up with special guest Alyce Rose for an unfiltered conversation on race, masculinity, grief, and group identity. This Mental Man Monday deep dive unpacks three trending and controversial stories dominating headlines and timelines alike. First, actor Malik Yoba, best known for his role in Why Did I Get Married, recently stated that he no longer identifies as Black, choosing instead to describe himself as "non-white." Alyce and Izzy explore whether this is a protective move in a racially charged society—or a form of self-denial that could create more confusion than clarity, especially in professional spaces.Next, the duo reacts to Houston rapper Sauce Walka, who was shot in Memphis and quickly returned to social media with upbeat posts, despite his close friend being fatally wounded. Is his behavior a trauma response, a street image tactic, or something more concerning? Izzy draws parallels to past incidents involving other rappers, raising critical questions about how grief and survival are handled publicly. Finally, Jim Jones goes viral for his comments on fraternities, likening them to gang culture. Alyce, who has first-hand Greek experience, pushes back hard. The conversation also reflects on the recent hazing-related death of Southern University student Caleb Wilson and what this says about accountability, tradition, and the mental toll of belonging.This episode is real, thought-provoking, and layered—perfect for listeners navigating identity, cultural pressures, and emotional growth in today's world. Listen now and join the conversation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

The Vice President came of age inside collegiate institutions that have shaped Black, middle-class culture for generations. She says they imprinted deeply upon her as well. Kamala Harris's story is remarkable in numerous ways. If elected president, she'll be the first coming from several life experiences, including one that many Black commentators have noticed: She'd be the first president who's a graduate of an HBCU, and a member of one of the “Divine Nine” Black sororities and fraternities. She called her time at Howard University, and her membership in the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, an important part of her journey. So what can we learn about the would-be president by looking at those institutions?  In this episode, host Kai Wright discusses who the “Divine Nine” are and why they were created with Lawrence Ross, and then chats with historian Dr. Natalie Hopkinson. Political analyst Dr. Christina Greer gives us cultural context on how HBCUs like Howard shaped not only Harris, but a whole generation of Black university students. She talks about the influence of Black Greek life, and the nuanced politics of the 1980s. Every summer we crowdsource a Spotify playlist with our listeners built around a particular theme.
