There have been several (not a lot) instances of Chapter Advisors and Housing Corp members being sued listed here in Risk Management.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to look for them.
Two comments on that. I don't know the outcome of those cases, and I suspect that a lawyer would have to know a fair amount about how a chapter works (like being a Greek alum) to know enough to include an advisor or House Corp member in the suit.
Finally, I would think that every National office carries blanket liability insurance for volunteers -- probably a million dollars. However, with the size of some litigation these days, I added my own policy at my expense. Off the top of my head, I think it was around $100/year as part of another policy (homeowners maybe?). I could be wrong on the cost.
