we are a relatively young sorority, and so we don't have an official risk management policy, or set consequences for girls who break rules. i know that other sororities have rules when it comes to things like throwing up from alcohol at unofficial sorority events, or for wearing letters when you're not supposed to, etc. they have things like standards boards, also.
i'm trying to make an official risk management policy so that we know how to react to problems that occur. if you have any suggestions at all, or can tell me how risk management in your chapter runs, that would be amazing and greatly appreciated. thank you so much!

The "throwing up at parties" and "wearing letters when you're not supposed to" are not risk management issues. You are talking about two different things. Standards and Risk Management often work hand in hand but are completely different. Your Risk Management policy should discuss what to do to avoid risks, manage events when they occur and the chain of command in such instances. You can read about AOII's policy at
http://www.alphaomicronpi.org/AM/Tem...CONTENTID=9052 though it doesn't discuss details, it describes what topics are discussed.
Things you should include: rules for parties, underage drinking, hazing, sober sisters, security, drugs, fire inspections/drills/precautions (if you have a house), chain of command in case of an emergency. I'm sure others can think up more. You may also ask your insurance company what things they think are important to include. Good luck. This is a very important part of an organization and care should be taken to make sure that your sisters are protected. Trust me, I've seen huge emergencies effect chapters. The chapters who had a competent risk management system handled them much better!
