THE BIG STORY

Walking the line between a fun and safe social event

Walking the line between a fun and safe social event

It’s the start of the new school year, and with that comes an array of events for students to partake in—new student orientation, welcome weeks, fraternity and sorority Greek Weeks, philanthropy events, homecoming, and simply, back to school house parties.

Hosting events to bring together the people you enjoy is encouraged at every level—but are there precautions being made to ensure the event goes off safely without a hitch? There is such a thing as a fun and safe party.

This year, don’t forget that looming phrase of Risk Management when you’re about to plan an event of any kind. Ladder of Risk: Campus Edition is a workshop that prepares students to excel in the art of social event planning by giving them a better understanding of risk management.

Having a grasp on a few key elements of event planning with ensure smooth sailing at your next event because no one wants to deal with the disaster of an event gone wrong.

Ladder of Risk: Campus Edition is a 4-hour interactive workshop that will train your chapter and council members to be better equipped to:

  • Answer the most common questions regarding alcohol and events

  • How to stay lower on the rungs of the ladder of risk

  • “Run the door” at an event

  • Work with a third party vendor

  • Develop a guest list (even on Facebook)

    Start this year off great with an event where the attendees remember all the outrageously good things that happened, rather than the things that went outrageously wrong.
