Fimiaa Case Study

Fraternities and sororities are at the center of binge drinking on college campuses. It is proven that in fraternity houses, approximately 80% of students binge, and over 50% binge frequently. Fraternities attract people beyond their members, including high-school seniors, which are future college freshmen that are already being introduced to binge drinking as being a social norm. The majority of alcohol-related deaths of college students involve fraternity parties. College administrators are afraid of acting out against fraternities because they do not want to anger the generous alumni donors who themselves, too, were partying during their college years. Colleges should not wait until a tragic event happens to realize that something must be done about fraternities and the alcohol-related problems that they cause. Also, it is morally wrong to treat alumni better than students, giving them the privilege to drink at events such as homecoming activities and sports. Banning alcohol for just students is not an effective way to gain students’ support for any new alcohol-control policies. It is quite obvious that colleges base their decisions on

Often partying, drinking, and hazing are key words that come to mine when talking about fraternities and sororities. “Since 1975, there has been at least one hazing-induced death per year across college campuses—and 82% of these have come as a result of binge drinking” (Glass, Nicole). Greek life leads to a culture of alcohol and drug abuse. Young, inexperienced drinkers find themselves running into trouble when trying to fit in around alcohol. Also there are some organizations that partake in “forcing new members to drink as much as possible” as part of a right of passage (“Joining”). The drinking habits being learned due to Greek life cause a serious threat to a student’s life in the present and in the future. Statistically, “75% of fraternity members engaging in heavy drinking compared with 49%” of non-fraternity members (“15”). Also like fraternity men, “62% of sorority members engage in binge drinking compared with 41%” of non-sorority women (“15”). The likelihood that members in Greek life are more likely to suffer from substance abuse after graduation scare away the timid potential new

THE RISK MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES AND KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA FRATERNITY BYLAWS, STANDING RULES, AND POLICIES MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED SO THAT THE INSURANCE PROGRAM OF KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA IS NOT JEOPARDIZED, EXPOSING THE FRATERNITY OR INDIVIDUALS TO CIVIL LIABILITY.

People like to go to parties and have fun all the time and what’s a party without alcohol, right? The problem with drinking at parties, however, is that many don’t know that they have become drunk and end up driving around after they leave the party. Drunk driving is dangerous and those driving that have high blood alcohol content or concentration (BAC) increases their risk of causing or being a part of accidents such as vehicle crashes or highway injuries (“Driving,” n.d.). The article “About Drunk Driving” (n.d.) states that every 53 minutes on average, someone is killed in a drunken driving crash and every 90 seconds, someone is injured.

Social host liability laws are enacted to hold hosts accountable for any alcohol related injuries that were the result of the host serving alcohol to minors (under the age of 21 for this discussion) or adults. Presently, the State of Setonia has no formalized common-law duty addressing social host liability. In light case recently heard in the Setonia Court where a clearly intoxicated driver struck a pedestrian after departing a social gathering, it was questioned if Setonia should seek to formulate a common-law duty for social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired, or under the influence of alcohol. Two court decisions, with markedly opposed decisions, from Delaware (Shea v. Matassa, 2007) and North Carolina (Hart v. Ivey, 1992), were reviewed in anticipation of the potential formulation of a common-law duty of a social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired or under the influence of alcohol.

Either food provided at the institution’s discretion or per diem for three meals per day on a road trip, plus a pre- or postgame meal;

Yes, the server should be careful on the limits of people and should suggest to the person not to drink but at the end of the day the drunk is going to do whatever he/she wants. It is impossible to make the serving host responsible for every person to get home safe and respecting the laws of the road. The person drinking the alcohol should be of age to do it. If the person is of the age, they should be responsible

If you are going to consume alcohol there are certain precautions you can take in order to protect yourself from danger. A few of these precautions are as follows: stay with the same group of friends you came with, drink in moderation, monitor how much you are drinking, drink non alcoholic drinks between alcoholic drinks, eat before and during drinking, and have a designated driver

To begin with, reducing the drinking age to eighteen will reduce the percentage of unsafe drinking activates. Fraternity house party is an example of an unsafe drinking activity. There are under no supervision and majority of the people that attend are underage of the legal drinking age. Underage people tend to attend fraternity houses because it allows them to drink without anyone authorization even

(Through the years, various programs have been created, to reduce U.S college alcohol abuse. One such program has been created at The University of Rhode Island.) The University of Rhode Island used to be a center for binge drinking, alcohol-related injuries, and even alcohol related deaths. That all changed when the new URI President Emeritus Dr. Robert Carothers, stepped in with a successful strategy called Security On Campus. Dr. Robert Carothers said, “One of the first, and most challenging, steps was keeping alcohol from being served at any event on campus”. They would also end up targeting fraternity’s/ sorority’s and keeping a tight lease on them. Another program they offered to the freshman was free education on the effects of drug

When you make the decision to go out drinking it is best to be prepared. Always be sure you have extra money for a cab or have a designated driver tag along so you can insure that you can have a safe ride home if you end up unable. But if you can not find a sober friend to drive for you or you don’t have the extra money for a cab home, I would suggest that you simply stay home to have a few drinks or maybe try again on another day when you would be able to have a friend or cab assist you. Or maybe you could all plan for a drinking night at one designated place where everyone can stay over night if they need to. If you make the conscious decision to drink then you should first and before most be responsible. You don’t want anyone getting hurt

Being responsible when drinking is very important and remembering to not drive is something to always remember. Choosing a designated driver will keep you safe and others if you have drinks and can’t drive. The chosen designated driver is to have no drinks. Having a designated driver allows you to drink all you want without having to worry on having to drive so you can get home safe without any problems. Also you could give your keys to a friend that you know for a fact won’t give your keys back when you go out drinking or to a

First of all, fraternities have proven to be a serious reason for underage drinking and binge drinking. These young adults have far less supervision and

In addition to dinner, the menu included an open bar. What originally started out to be an innocent and business appropriate function turned into a wild free-for-all that lasted into the late hours of the night, and behaviors erupted that should never occur in any business relationship. The following morning, a large percentage of those in attendance at the party were absent from work, and many of those who did show up were tardy and ill, incapable of performing their duties. Productivity was significantly decreased for the entire day, and for some, even into the following day. In light of that single event, the practice of “open bar” social gatherings between the financial office and the dealerships was abolished. It is not surprising to note that according to the United States Office of Personnel Management, the rate of absenteeism is estimated to be 4 to 8 times greater among alcoholics and alcohol abusers (L'Etoile, 2011) .

Even if the person appears to be fine and there is no one to drive their car, call a taxi. The amount of money that it costs does not even compare to how priceless a life is. Many little things come into affect when you are socially drinking and it is better to be safe then sorry. Children always are afraid that their parents will be upset with them if they are intoxicated. One hundred percent of parents would rather have their kids home alive and drunk, then get in a car with a drunk driver and run the risk of death. Driving drunk impairs everyone and no one is immune to it. Driving an automobile while under the influence of alcohol is one of the most dangerous things a person could do. This is because they are not only dangering themselves, but the other drivers on the road. There is no safe way to drink and drive. One drink may complicate a person's ability to drive a vehicle. It has been said in some reports that drinking heavily can even impair a person's driving in the morning after they wake up. These two organizations are leading the way in the harsh battle to stop people from drinking and driving. The best way to stop this horrible epidemic is to make people aware and to educate them. These two groups as well as many others are trying to do so. They promote parties on weekends for kids to go to, just so they are not in danger of drunk drivers. Many schools around the country have clubs to try and help prevent
