Lambda Phi Chapter

Alpha Phi Omega

Risk Management Policies

First and foremost, we will abide by the national Alpha Phi Omega risk management policy.  The policy of the National Service Fraternity, Eastern Michigan University, and all local, state and federal laws will have precedence over the policy of this chapter in the event of any discrepancy or contradiction. 

At any event where alcohol is being served, precautions will be taken to prevent the serving of alcohol to minors and to prevent drinking and driving.  These precautions will include, but are not limited to the following: 

1)      Non-alcoholic beverages will be served.

2)      Sleeping arrangements will be provided for those who need them.

3)      Members will be stopped from drinking by a sober attendee before they become a danger to themselves or others.

4)      Designated drivers and a key taker shall be on duty at any chapter-organized party where alcohol is present.  Volunteer members will be found to perform the duties of designated drivers and key taker at least one day in advance.  If no designated drivers or a key taker are found, there will be no party.

5)      The names of the designated drivers and the key taker shall be visibly posted at each party along with the hours on duty.

6)      The key taker, will take car keys from all members and guests wishing to drink.

7)      When the last designated driver goes off-duty, members and guests who have been drinking and are still at the party will be expected to stay the night at the house where the party was held.

8)      Designated drivers and the key taker shall be sober and free of substances that impair judgment and motor skills. 

9)      No chapter funds shall be used for the purchase of alcohol. 

Liability:

A waiver will be signed at the beginning of each semester by each member of the chapter.  The waiver will include, but is not limited to issues surrounding transportation and injury.  The Vice President will be responsible for the writing and distribution of said waiver.
