Panhellenic Peer Educators, Sexual Violence Education and Empowerment Branch

What Panhellenic Peer Educators, Sexual Violence Education and Empowerment Branch does

The Panhellenic Peer Educators, Sexual Violence Education and Empowerment Branch is a student peer education program established in Fall 2015 within the University of Michigan's Fraternity & Sorority Life (FSL) department, one of four programmatic arms of the Panhellenic Association. The program recruits Panhellenic women from various sorority chapters to serve as peer educators focused on sexual violence prevention, mental health awareness, body image, and personal wellness, delivering educational programming and serving as allies for their Panhellenic sisters. Notable output events include the Mental Health and Sexual Violence Speak Out. Operationally, the program sits on top of the broader FSL infrastructure: Canvas LMS hosts required FSL Educational Modules and Impact Training, while a University-owned FSL Data Management System maintains membership and eligibility records. Distribution of services is campus-bound, with all eligibility verified through the Recruitment & Intake Gateway.

The Sexual Violence Education and Empowerment Branch is one of two co-equal branches of the Peer Educator Program (the other being the Health & Wellness branch). Governance is provided by a student-led officer corps (Executive Director, Directors of Membership, Programming, Expansion, and Community Outreach & Activism) under FSL staff oversight. Revenue mechanics are not commercial: the broader FSL ecosystem collects modest semester-based membership fees of $16–$30 from members via UM student accounts, supplemented by IFC recruitment fees ($30 per bid accepted) and individual chapter dues; the Peer Educator program itself is funded as part of a publicly funded state-university student life department rather than as an independent revenue-generating business. The program's customer base is effectively single-tenant — University of Michigan undergraduate students participating in the Panhellenic community, with the peer educator roster drawn exclusively from that same population.
