A full turn from women's coalitions of the past, she said, this group is organized early and reeling in young students. A handful of seniors usually led the group and momentum fizzled when the students graduated. They're generating a lot of visibility for themselves and tackling some tough issues. Junior Rose Silpayamanant said she was amazed at the first meeting's turnout, and at what seems to be a revived interest in the coalition. There are really some important issues for a women's group at DePauw.
People are in a very entrenched system here, and a lot of what they do is dictated by their gender.
Gregorcich said the literary magazine will include several kinds of art and literature, from poetry to drawings to prose. Gregorcich said the group is now preparing for activities in October, National Violence Awareness Month. Alyson Sklar Gregorcich and Sklar are working to organize weekly discussions about women's issues at DePauw. The nature of the greek system, as well as other aspects of campus life, Gregorcich said, give the group plenty of issues to choose from. And we're not just targeting women - everybody on this campus should be interested, because everybody here has a mother, a daughter, a sister or a friend who's affected by these issues.
