The meeting was opened with presentations from GAMMA and SHARE to ensure our members' education on the topics of alcohol use and sexual assault.

GAMMA Presentation
GAMMA (Gamecocks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol) made a presentation at the begining of the meeting. We do not advocate drinking at our events, but if you are over 21 and choose to drink, here are 8 tips from GAMMA.

8 TIPS for a Safe Evening:
0. Remeber, you don't need alcohol to have fun.
1. If consuming alcohol, know what you are drinking.
2. Count your dribnks and know your limits.
3. Slow down, don't chug! Instead, space your drinks and alternate alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic beverages.
4. Make sure you eat a full meal before you drink.
5. Have a designated driver who has not consumed alcohol in the last 24 hours.
6. Don't mix alcohol with other drugs.
7. Be aware of the unexpected costs (cash and calories) of drinking.
