o Risk management:
 By laws need to be read and each sister must sign that they
have read them. Abby will get signatures. By laws can be
found on website
 To increase awareness to risks and losses, to ensure we
keep our insurance coverage
1. Alcohol and drugs:
a. During certain events sisters are allowed to have
alcohol if they are over 21 and abide by certain
regulations like ending drinking an hour before the
event ends and having 2 designated non drinkers to
drive

b. No alcohol during rush recruitment, or while in letters
c. Don’t purchase alcohol for minors
d. No drugs allowed
e. Basically make smart choices because you are an
example for younger sisters and rushes
2. No hazing (even things like scavenger hunts are considered
hazing)
3. Automobiles: when traveling for sorority, vehicles must be
maintained, drives must obey laws of road, and sorority is not
liable for destruction of automobile
4. Sexual harassment or misconduct- doesn’t condone
 If planning an event, committees must look into risk management,
and file things in advance for off campus events or if alcohol is
being served
 Sigma Alpha Risk Management can be found on website or
googled
 Second VP
o Recommended to have an MC assistant- if interested in becoming
MC educator then contact Kelley to become her assistant
o MC Meetings will be Tues or Wed but will be determined with
MC's
o It is recommended by nationals to have 1-3 actives present per MC
meeting
o MC retreat- week of March 9th either Tues or Wed- as many sisters
as possible must go so mark your calendar
 Treasurer
o Will email out a budget to each commitee, chair heads must
respond to email
o Rush shirts are in: $25, the square is not set up yet so checks or cash
right now
o Account balance- $3,257, minimum for bank is $2,000
o There is no income this semester because spring MC's are not
paying dues. We voted this because they are not involved for a
whole year but it costs 50 dollars per person that we are not getting
back. We should have them pay 50 dollars so we have payment in
advance for what we spend on them. Nationals say they are
supposed to pay 25% of chapter dues so they know it’s a
commitment. This is a nonrefundable balance to put towards what
were putting in to them.
 Will vote next meeting on this
 Secretary
o Text me if you will miss something a meeting or an event (410980-7675), the sooner the better
o Can have two unexcused absences
