Advisor Liability Issues
My wife is the advisor for a sorority that requires advisors to
sign all checks from the chapter - essentially, any check for
anything. This includes payment for functions such as formal
dances, fraternity/sorority events, etc.
My question is, with this practice, even when she's told
it isn't for alcohol, what is our liability in the
event of an accident.
God forbid, the sorority pays a fraternity for their part
of the party, they buy a band and beer, one of the
young ladies dies from drinking too much, etc. - whatever -
are we liable financially? To what extent? Does anyone
know of prior cases/situations such as this and
the results of the lawsuit?
