Thanks Delt Alum. What are some situations (you don't have to name the org) that you (or anyone) may have heard of where the Advisor was made liable? I can understand the need to find blame in an extreme situation, but overall, I feel that individuals are responsible for their own actions. From a Social Work perspective, we document everything to protect ourselves and if a client were to present harm to themselves or others, we would report it/refer them to appropriate services. I just have difficulty accepting how if some undergrads do this, an Advisor could be held personally responsible. I mean, I understand if something dangerous is known by the Advisor and withheld but otherwise, I don't see how the individual Advisor would be held liable. I would also venture to guess that due to undergrads worrying about losing their charter, they are not going to often make dangerous situations known to the Advisor (which is unfortunate because this is often why things get out of hand) when more often then not, the chapter will probably not lose their charter.
