Fraternities & sororities are values based, membership development organizations that focuses on building brotherhood & sisterhood through; character enhancement, leadership

development, academic achievement, commitment to service, life-long friendship and social

experiences.

THE Problem?

A proactive system of identifying potential risks associated with chapter events and activities; assessing the impact they may have on the chapter, headquarters, and university community; deciding whether to accept the risks, modify the activities, or eliminate the risks altogether, and then monitoring events to ensure successful accomplishment of chapter’s goals.
