Members and chapters who are in violation of risk management policies will lose insurance protection. You need to review these policies and procedures with your chapter so you don’t jeopardize your coverage. 

One way to get started this semester is to review our “Statement on Chapter & Individual Responsibility” and “Smart Event Planning” resources.  Review is helpful for everyone and essential for new executive board members or new members.  Discouraging risky behavior is one way the Fraternity can provide a safe experience for all of our members and guests.

Please talk to your chapter about these resources before you begin planning social events and new member activities.

Sign Commitment to Promote Chapter and Individual Responsibility form at CLA.  The following executive board members must sign the Commitment to Promote Chapter and Individual Responsibility form each year: president, vice president of programming, vice president of member development and vice president of recruitment.  One chapter volunteer must sign each form as well.  Forms will be available at CLA.  This is yet another reason to ensure you have your chapter officers at CLA.

Use licensed vendors. As you return to campus, please remember the importance of using licensed vendors for all SigEp merchandise.  Here is a quick refresher from Affinity.

Get the alcohol education rebate. It’s not too late to save five percent on your chapter’s 2012 liability insurance bill by participating in a risk management/alcohol education workshop. The chapter can receive valuable information and save money, too.  Take attendance (90 percent chapter participation is required), provide a summary of the program and send it to Risk Management Director Kathy Johnston.
