What students are saying…

“I drive with my ‘I Pledged’ wristband on. It’s a constant reminder to be a safe driver. Additionally, it has made me a more vigilant passenger. This campaign has given me the courage to speak up for safe driving.”

— Joshua Levine, Chairman, Safe Driving Campaign, Cornell University

“We hope we helped save some lives by bringing awareness to this issue. I'm now much more mindful about distractions when I drive. I’m trying my best to lower the danger to myself and others.” 

— Gustavo Chavez, California Iota 

“One of my closest friends told me that now, whenever she thinks about getting her phone out while driving, she remembers that she signed the pledge, and she can’t do it anymore.”

— Max Rotter, California

“We learned a lot — how to effectively engage people through our table events and how to manage our time and plan for the event. Hearing other people’s distracted driving stories made us humbler and more aware of how many people are affected near and far.” 

— Danny Vo, Pennsylvania Lambda 

“A number of people who signed the pledge said, ‘Yes, I lost a family member to distracted driving’. So when it hits close to home, that’s the biggest thing that makes it real.” 

— Rick Donilick, New York Beta

“I definitely want to see this event come back next year, and I hope it can spread to more schools, too.” 

— Nicholas Georgas, Alabama Alpha
