Following recent attacks in the Sorority Row area, University Police added new stops to the Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol route.
The changes to SNAP, which went into effect at the beginning of spring semester, were made in response to a Q&A session between UPD and Panhellenic Council members in December. Sorority women said they were concerned there weren't enough SNAP stops on Sorority Row and no stops for off-campus sorority houses, said UPD Sgt. Kristy Maculan.
SNAP stops were added in front of every sorority house, including the three off-campus houses. Stops were also added at Oakbrook Walk and The Continuum because they are considered student housing. However, Oakbrook Walk's SNAP stop is temporary, Maculan said.
"The intent and hope with these changes is that sorority house residents will feel safer," she said.
Business sophomore Nicole Ronzon, 19, lives on Sorority Row.
After the attacks, she said she doesn't feel safe running after dark.
"I feel as though these new stops should have been a part of SNAP's route even before the recent attacks occurred," she said.
