Risk Management

Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity
Beta Mu Chapter Risk Management Policies
The George Washington University
Spring 2005

The Beta Mu risk management policy rests on the simple principle of upholding the National principle of opposing hazing and protecting the chapter from any infractions regarding substances or sexual relations.

Concerning romantic relations, the Chapter forbids any such relationship between brothers and initiates. Should one be discovered, the Chapter will immediately bring the brother before a Trial Board and the Brotherhood will vote whether or not to expel the initiate from the program.

Concerning substances, any brothers under the legal age at any Phi Sigma Pi official event may not consume alcohol. Any brothers over the legal limit may be removed from an official event for disorderly conduct relating to alcohol. Should brothers choose to drink alcohol outside of Phi Sigma Pi events before they reach the legal age limit, the chapter stipulates that they may under no circumstances wear Phi Sigma Pi letters or memorabilia, and associate their activities with the fraternity in no shape or form. Illegal substances of all forms are forbidden to all brothers.

The Brotherhood forbids all hazing. Any Initiate is free and welcome at any time to come forward to any brother, most especially the Initiate Advisor, to address an incident they felt to be hazing (any brother told must immediately report it to the Initiate Advisor). The Chapter will then initiate a trial board for any brothers accused of a connection to the hazing activities.
