Many people are surprised to learn what counts as a drink.  The amount of liquid in your glass, can, or bottle does not necessarily match up to how much alcohol is actually in your drink.  Different types of beer, wine, or malt liquor can have very different amounts of alcohol content. Learn more about the effects of alcohol including BAC and standard drink sizes. 

Hazing is a real problem that can cause long - lasting effects both physically and psychologically – to the person being hazed, the person hazing, and the community at large. Hazing is everyone’s problem.. That’s why it’s also everyone’s responsibility. 

The stakes are high for the corporations investing in this technology. Venmo is a subsidiary of PayPal. Square Cash is owned by Square, and Apple is entering the market. Users of these services expect them to be convenient, quick and reliable. Undergraduate members of fraternities and sororities are part of a key demographic where these apps focus their marketing efforts.

However, in the high-stakes, litigation-prone world of fraternities and sororities, P2P apps present a number of challenges and risks that should be approached very carefully or avoided all together.

The Risk Management Policies of Alpha Delta Phi are intended to provide education and guidance to chapter officers in performing their responsibilities. Individual chapter members and officers are responsible for being familiar with these policies. 

This guide has been designed by the NIC to assist chapters in planning and implementing safe Bring Your Own Beverage (BYOB) social events. When using this guide to better understand the strategies for holding a successful BYOB event, please remember that your event should follow all applicable guidelines and policies for social events and the use of alcohol. This includes any and all guidelines policies and rules from your Interfraternity Council, campus, and inter/national fraternity. The most specific/stringent guidelines are to be followed at all times. 

It’s a fact, college students party. Our goal is to ensure that those parties are safe and appropriately themed. Theme parties are often a fun way to give students an opportunity to express their creativity and even a sense of humor. While most parties are held on private property, it is also important to follow your campus, community, and organization’s policies. 

Pub/bar crawls are organized to celebrate birthdays, graduation/commencement, large campus events, holidays and other occasions meaningful to students. The risks can be significant. This quick guide will outline those risks and give members an idea of what to do and what not to do. 

SOBER MONITORS

Sober monitors have the important responsibility of helping to monitor chapter social events in order to provide a safe social environment. They are charged with monitoring social events and following the Alpha Delta Phi risk management policy, as well as the policies of other chapter(s) that are co-hosting the event. This resource is intended to help a chapter think through how to set up an effective sober monitor/officer system. 

This event planning guide, provided by Holmes Murphy, include provisions and recommendations to help your chapter host safe and responsible social events. These are intended to apply to all levels of membership in an organization. 

Tailgating has become a popular part of sport and entertainment events. However, there are risks involved in the organization and hosting of tailgating events. It is important to follow your campus, community, and organization’s policies. On many campuses, the off-campus location of tailgates does not mean that students are exempt from their campus code of conduct. 

In terms of claim dollars paid, auto accidents are coming close to falls from heights. Not surprising though is the fact that alcohol is often a contributing factor in these automobile accidents. Even when undergraduate members try to do the right thing, bad things can happen and expose members, graduate brothers, the chapter, and the International Fraternity to potential liability and costly litigation.

Although the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity's General Liability Policy may cover a claim arising from an injury suffered as a result of the use of an amusement device or temporary water feature at an event, your exposure can be significant. Even if your members are participating without co-sponsorship, they risk serious injury. Alpha Delta Phi and Holmes Murphy strongly discourage the use of these devices.

Fraternities are not immune to the tragedies and crises that have struck the college population with alarming frequency over the past decade. As leaders and volunteers working with student chapters, we must be prepared to meet the needs of any crisis we face. This guide is dedicated to the prevention of risk management crises, but also outlines the basics steps to follow in case of an emergency.

Falls from heights are a significant problem in fraternal properties. A number of catastrophic incidents have occurred in recent years when students have fallen off balconies, roofs, fire escapes and out of windows of fraternity/sorority properties. In some of the cases fatalities have resulted. Nearly 80% of the incidents involved alcohol, while over 80% were on chapter property. 

Fire is one of the leading factors of lose in many fraternity and sorority organizations. Candles, bonfires, and cigarettes may be harmless at first but can quickly turn into a disaster and even death. Simple prevention measures are often what it takes to decreasing the risk of costly fires.
