You'll also note that Council has passed a new policy requiring all Delta Gamma owned housing with Delta Gammas living in to have fire sprinkler systems by December 31, 2011. Additionally, no Fraternity visitors (CDCs, Council, Cabinet, etc) will be allowed to stay overnight in Delta Gamma owned housing without sprinklers after that date.
The safety and security of our members is vitally important to us. I'm sure you'll concur!

I'd much rather see education on the dangers of candles with flowing fabrics. You see, risk management should be teaching our sisters what things are risky, and how to avoid the risk while still achieving an objective.
It's amazing to me how people will put up with being told "you can't figure this out for yourself" in the name of safety.
But in the "interests" of the group, I stay away instead.
