huge party

FHwku · #1 04-30-2002, 04:18 PM

we were thinking about a huge blowout, once a year, and costs, liability, and risk management. does anyone else throw a once a year 1000+ part?

You mean a thousand people? OR a thousand dollars? Because a Thousand Dollars isn't a lot at all to spend on a party . . . The dwarf one of the groups up here got attend cost more money . . .

Just got off of the phone with my Skoal Rep who is a Kappa Sigma Alum and also the DGM for the state of Kansas! Thye had a problem with minors drinking at a party! Da what else is new! Can die for the country but cant drink its beer at a function!
Anyway, the response is via the National, kick them out! I asked him if that ment they would have to recruit nothing but 21 year olds>

If they have a party by a 3rd vendor, they have to pay $500.00 for insurance policiy per party! Dam how many can afford that?

It is getting totally insane!

I know I should have posted this on Risk but figure it would get to more here!

You could have a party at the Caves but I'd be afraid someone would get hurt going up and down the hill...

We don't (obviously!!), but a chapter at my college has an annual party they claim attracts over 1000 every year. What specifically were u curious about, I could probably come up with some basic info.

I don't but I know someone who is in the process of doing something similar. They have quite some info on it already. Maybe they can help? If you'd like email me at vg_ronnie@hotmail.com and i could get you in touch with that person.

P.S. GOOD LUCK!!

ilovemyglo: i'm the guy on the couch.
james: i meant a thousand+ people.
everyone: thanks. i'll be in touch.

The cost won't be a problem. That would probably just be security, insurance, and cost of location. We are financially set.
As far as risk management goes, it's a big risk and hard to manage. If you've had the party, did you invited non-greeks?
Have sign in sheets? Card for age? provide a system of transportation?
