Agreed.

Our fraternity requires all chapters have a Risk Management advisor- and that advisor must be certified in a process that includes training. The Risk Manager must then oversee Risk Management trainings with the chapter at least annually. These trainings can include representatives of law enforcement or the fire department.
I would be curious to hear if other fraternities have similar requirements. I am glad you posted this exlurker since it is a good chance to find out if other GLOs have already gone down this path- and I expect most have.
Risk Management is important- and our insurance needs and our desire to protect our members drives responsible policies. This new law is stupid because it singles out and implicitly vilifies fraternities and sororities while, at least in the case of Beta, not really changing anything about how things are done.

My organization has a "new member workshop" in the weeks following pledging, and one of the modules involves risk management. Actives are also required to get risk management certification each semester.
My university already hosts a risk management workshop once a semester (hosted by Greek Life). Plus, several organizations host risk management-type workshops throughout the year. So essentially, an average active member is reminded of risk management at least 4 times a year.
Obviously, most national organizations realize the importance of RM. I don't see a point in making it law, either.

Elizabeth Massengale (in the article) was my old Greek Life advisor!
