Delt Alum, thanks for posting the article.
The point that hit home with me was the one talking about the president "acting as an agent for...". Do ALL chapters understand this? Do they need to have an attorney sit down and explain the very REAL responsibilities of holding office? If the entire chapter board knew and understood the possible ramifications, how could they possibly carry on with "tradition". I would suggest that it would not end there. Couldn't the Alum Advisor be pulled into it as well?
I recall when I sat on the board of a local org, we had to get additional insurance, because were someone to trip and fall, as a board member, I could have been included in the lawsuite. I was indeed an "agent for". I know people come and talk with the chapters and almost all have their "education" and "risk" committees, but maybe it's the presentation. Something isn't getting through.
