In regards to risk-management presentations 'fire saftey' is a great one. I know it sounds totaly cheesey, but as SG&D I did one of my workshops on fire and ritual. As a chapter we really looked at WHY fires happen. I got video footage from the Wake Forest fraternity fire, and a few others. It was pretty hard to watch because kids our age did die becuase they couldn't get out of bed, had unworking fire alarms etc. Then as the video was ending. I arranged for a security officer to come in and pull the alarm with out the chaper knowing. We disucssed where we meet if a fire occurs, and talked about exit strategies during a party or at night. Esp with parties, how we get our guest out of the house safely.
Then we moved onto ritual. we looked at where ritual takes place, fire exits and the saftey of using real candles. We have since reconsidered and use a different location for our ceremonies because the safty risk was just too high.
We also learned to use a fire extinguisher and set commonly worn clothing material on fire. It was pretty interesting.
With groups that repeatedly violate alcohol policies, what about doing community service at a recovery home. Working with people who are trying to get their lives in line can be very powerful. (And what chapter doesn't need more community service)
