We had a "Something of Value" presentation at our convention a few years ago.
The storyline presented was about an individual sorority member (Susie) getting intoxicated at a fraternity party and subsequently killed in a car crash that night. Susie's parents sued the school; the fraternity; and (even though it was not an official sorority event) the sorority members present at the party, the sorority president and the advisor (both of whom were not present at the party). We witnessed the "trial" where the various sorority sisters, the president, etc. were called to the stand to testify. The audience served as the jury and afterwards we broke into groups for discussion. It gave a very powerful message... definitely an eye-opener.
One of my sisters is a lawyer and has trained to be a "Something of Value" facilitator and has mentioned that there are other risk management scenarios.

As far as cost, the NPC website suggests having each sorority chapter pay a registration fee for their members to attend. If you are willing to have the other chapters on your campus participate, this might help lessen the cost.
