Our Services

The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., operates America's only national hotline for survivors of sexual assault. The hotline 1-800.656.HOPE offers free, confidential counseling and support 24 hours a day, from anywhere in the country. RAINN is provided as a service for survivors who cannot reach a rape crisis center through a local call, as well as those who might not know that a local center exists. Currently, the majority of the country is a toll call away from a rape crisis center. Many of these long distance callers are being abused by someone in their own household and thus can't utilize a service that will appear on a phone bill. Since RAINN was founded in 1994, survivors nationwide finally have access to free, confidential counseling all day, every day.

In realizing the importance of such an organization, Chi Sigma Upsilon has adopted RAINN as its off-campus philanthropy. The need exists to spread the awareness, especially among college-aged women, of sexual assault and related crimes. To aid in this effort, various lectures, workshops and fundraisers are being planned, as well as an effort to make RAINN information made available to all incoming students at all colleges and universities nation-wide.
