To this i mean, if i am say in charge of rush/recruitment, which in my sorority is an executive position and there is a girl who goes out with some of the other girls from the sorority and something bad happens and she dies.
Who is at Fault?
Would it be the person who came up with said activity?
Would it be the president of the sorority only?
Would it be all exc positions, again rush chair which only does stuff a small % of the year and has no real "say" in anything else?
Would it be the person who suggested the activty, or the most senior member present?
Or could we just teach PNM's about taking responsibility and how to not come to peer pressure? Sounds to me, a good place to start. Anyone else?

Any and all of the above can be held liable, as well as alumnae volunteers and International Officers. Anybody and everybody who knew about it is liable. There have been civil suits where they've held advisors or other exec officers liable because they SHOULD HAVE known about it. People who engage in hazing are putting the whole organization at risk.
With this new law in Florida, only those who actually commit the act sound like they can be prosecuted criminally, but civil suits are a whole 'nother ball game.
