The Kappa Delta sorority and University Health Services joined together on Tuesday to present "Relationship U" in the Student Union Ballroom. "This program taught students how to maintain a healthy relationship in college," said Amy Pitts, a sophomore and member of Kappa Delta. "I was pleased with the turnout we had, and glad that my sorority could be a part of this event."

The program, entitled "Myths, Risks and Reality," centered on relationships with an emphasis on living together, more commonly known on a college campus as "shacking up."Lauren Mattox, the coordinator of "Relationship U," encourages students to take time now to learn how to uphold a successful relationship so the student will not have to deal with issues like divorce or violence in the future.

"Men tend to be less committed in co-habitation relationships than if they're married; however, women tend to be more committed when living together, causing an imbalance in the commitment in the relationship," Scott Roby, co-leader of "Relationship U" said.

Roby said relationships that begin with living with each other have a higher rate of domestic violence. Free food and door prizes were given away to participants at "Relationship U."A question and answer session concerning the topic of living together concluded the program.
