Students Against Sexism in Society is a student club that meets in the Human Rights Center.
SASS's Mission Statement
Students Against Sexism in Society is a Human Rights Center organization dedicated to both intelligent discourse and meaningful activism. SASS strives to provide resources for the advancement of women, including speakers, lectures and performances celebrating feminist scholarship and women’'s accomplishments. SASS’'s efforts also include open forums, awareness campaigns, art statements, marches and open dialogue. SASS welcomes every student, staff member, and visitor to meetings in hopes of a varied and lively ongoing discussion and increased understanding of what it means to be against sexism.
Stereotype
SASS is an organization that works to eliminate gender stereotypes.
Ironically, the members are subjected to a stereotype of their own: angry feminists.
Further irony
While a common opinion of the campus seems to be that SASSers wouldn't be caught dead at a TKE party, there was a time when a healthy percentage of the club was dating TKEs.
However
Despite all this chatter, SASS has been known to do some really amazing events, including, but not limited to:
- Love Your Body Conference
- The March for Women's Lives in DC
