The Risk Management Procedures And The Bylaws

Originally formed as service organizations, Greek lettered organizations today still try to hold onto that philosophy (Barry, 2007). Modern day fraternities and sororities strive to provide opportunities for member’s growth in four areas: service, scholarship, leadership and friendship (Long, 2012). But while the term social fraternity used to refer the growth of ones social and personal development the term social today typically refers to parties (Randall & Grady, 1998). Many studies have been and are currently being done to access just how beneficial Greek life really is to students and to help discover ways in which student affairs practitioners can best support the Greek life students that they work to make sure their personal and academic goals are being met.

Any event away from the chapter facility involving chapter members and/or new members (e.g., a new member retreat) or any event where there is a potential risk involved.

Though membership in the fraternity is completely voluntary and relation to fellow members is similar to that of brothers, as

Another sorority is occupying Kappa Kappa Gamma’s former facility. Furthermore, the university cannot guarantee a facility will be provided to any new group arriving on

Kappa Theta is known on campus for doing a yearly Fireman’s Challenge that generates the bulk of their philanthropic efforts and most recently creating the PIKE Club, which is a program where brothers of Kappa Theta will play basketball every week with students with disabilities on campus, which has tremendous participation. However, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life would like to see two major philanthropic efforts every year (one per semester). There has not been an effective transition so the chairmen are essentially recreating the position every year. In order to be most effective I would recommend the following:

Kappa will sponsor one student to attend. The selected participant will join Beth Black, Fraternity President, and Pris Gerde, former Fraternity President, in Washington, D.C., April 24–27, 2017. Applications are due by 5 p.m. EST on Friday, Dec. 9, 2016.

Any event away from the chapter facility involving chapter members and/or new members, such as a new member retreat or when

Fraternities have a very misconstrued reputation in our society today. They are known to be rowdy, inappropriate, and extremely disrespectful. A well-known business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, takes a step out of these characteristics. They describes themselves as, “a professional fraternity organized to foster the study of business in universities; to encourage scholarship, social activity and the association of students for their mutual advancement by research and practice” (Delta Sigma Pi’s Purpose, Mission, and Core Values).

Additionally, the Fraternity Headquarters Work Group, to be appointed by Fraternity Council early this fall, will consider these findings as they evaluate the alternatives for providing a state-of-the-art Fraternity Headquarters facility: a new build on

A few weeks ago our Reginal Director (Ryan D’Ercole) for Sigma Phi Epsilon visited our chapter and held different topics based on differing viewpoints of fraternity life. He showed us videos of people talking about different opinions based around hazing and then another one based around substance free housing.

Living and being an example of the ritual in my everyday life is of my highest priorities. My commitment to this fraternity is unquestionable; I have attended four PIKE University events despite only being a member for a little over a year. I attend these events to better myself, my fraternity, and my community. I know that I can best represent the undergraduate members of our fraternity through the lessons and experiences I gained at PIKE University events. Attendance at these events provides exposure to multiple chapters and the trials and tribulations they face as well as the success stories. I can take their concerns and formulate plans to solve them, all the while using the principles and interest of the International Fraternity as

The chapter will promptly notify the Risk Management Specialist and Risk Management Director of any changes or violations of the university or college’s rules, regulations or policies regarding visitation.

Fall 2017: Immediately following an invitation to establish a chapter at Adelphi University: Members of Kappa’s extension team meet with Panhellenic leaders and staff to finalize the establishment schedule and “Be Kappa” marketing campaign details.

Visitors, Aspirants, inquirers and candidates are encouraged to attend; this is a wonderful experience to see the inner workings of the structure of the fraternity. Several of our candidates have volunteered to help with our upcoming elections.

Kappa Kappa Gamma strongly believes in educating our members about our anti-hazing expectations and policies. All collegiate members are required to receive hazing prevention programming, education on the definition of hazing, and a review of Kappa's policies and expectations. These educational resources include a peer-led curriculum that can be facilitated by a chapter Education Chairman for an entire chapter as well as Every Member Education online courses. Chapters that are assessed and deemed as at risk may also receive an in-person course on bystander behavior facilitated by an Every Member Education Trainer. All members sign the Membership Commitment Statement, an agreement stating that they will not engage in any behavior that would be considered hazing. During the New Member Experience, the topic of hazing is covered on Bid Day as well as in the online risk management course and through GreekLifeEDU. 3.
