[Maharet]

THIS IS ADDRESSED TO ALL GREEK SISTERS AND BROTHERS REGARDLESS OF THEIR AFFILIATIONS...

MEET AS AN ENTIRE CHAPTER AND THOROUGHLY GO OVER YOUR CHAPTER, COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY PLAN FOR EMERGENCIES. HAVE PLANS AND RESOURCES IN PLACE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN - WHETHER IT BE SOMETHING AS TRAGIC AS THIS OR SIMPLE EMERGENCIES LOCATED AT YOUR COLLEGES...

CREATE PHONE TREES, E-MAIL/TEXT MESSAGING LISTS ETC. KNOW WHO YOUR CONTACT PEOPLE ARE FOR YOUR FAMILIES AT HOME OR AWAY. DISCUSS FULLY WHAT EVERYONE CAN DO TO STAY IN TOUCH AND PLAN FOR SUCH AND EVENT. HAVE A LIST OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO ALL WITHIN YOUR CHAPTER AND CAMPUS SO THAT ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO TURN. NOTIFY YOUR FAMILIES OF THESE CONTACTS AS WELL.

AND ABOVE ALL, PRAY OR SEND HEARTFELT THOUGHTS TO THOSE PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD TONIGHT...
