There is sexual harassment and then there is a hostile work environment. You may experience one or both of these. Check http://www.eeoc.gov
It can include unwanted unwelcome sexual advances, inappropriate touching (does not have to be sexual), and gender-biased remarks like, "Women don't belong here, they belong in a kitchen at home."
You need to understand what sexual harassment is NOT. Asking someone out on a date is not harassment, telling someone they look nice is not harassment, put downs (unless based strictly on gender) are not harassment.
Before pursuing anything you'll need witnesses and need to be able to establish some evidence that this has happened to others. Without a clear direct evidence, it's your word against theirs and you'll get nowhere.
Because you have a limited time in which to file a complaint (not a lawsuit even, just a complaint to resolve this), you should contact your state Human Rights Commission and the EEOC immediately.

Sexual harrasment is any unwanted sexual attention given to you by another. Ask that person to stop and if they do it again, they are knowingly harrasing you.

sexual harrasment can be any unwanted sexual comment. it doesn't have to be directed at the person filing the claim, only offend them.
