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! |
sorry, i meant that i'm forming a standards board. thanks for the clarification about the difference, also. our standards board is under the jurisdiction of the risk management chair, so even though they're different, they're kind of in the same ballpark for us. like i said, we are a relatively new sorority so we're still trying to figure all this stuff out. but what i am asking about is the standards board, just to clarify. thanks for the link, i will definitely check it out! if you could provide help with the standards board, that would be great. thanks!
