Andrea Cooper, a Delta Delta Delta alumna, is sponsored by the Tri-Delt and Alpha Chi Omega sororities, who will fund 20 of her speaking engagements. She began speaking to individual chapters in her home state of Colorado in 1998. Cooper has dedicated much of her time to speaking at colleges around the country in an attempt to raise awareness of rape and encourage victims of depression to seek help. She said she hopes to speak at 56 colleges this year. You can crawl into a hole or try to make a difference.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
During the speech, she said men must be prepared to deal with and help support women who have been raped because one in four college women are victims of rape or attempted rape. Men, you can help the women in your life so much. You can't force people into counseling, but you can go in and ask a professional how to help them. Andrea Cooper said people should also fight the stigma of counseling. There is nothing wrong with it.
