Risk Management & harm Reduction Resources
Harm reduction is an important component of the fraternity and sorority experience. Harm reduction includes the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, understanding membership expectations, and the accountability measures associated with failure to meet them.
There are many risk management and harm reduction resources available to chapters to assist in ongoing event planning and general harm reduction efforts. Risk management and harm reduction includes exploration of all risk-related areas including social event planning, hazing prevention, sexual assault prevention, fire safety, and general member health and wellness.
Connections to CLIMB:
- As chapters build connections among members, supporting one another in meeting harm reduction expectations and ensuring members are healthy should be a top priority.
- Chapters excelling in the area of harm reduction and risk management are often change agents in the wider community, encouraging everyone to meet risk management expectations and provide an ever safer fraternity and sorority experience. They also encourage positive individual decision-making and member accountability.

The Responsible Action Exemption is a part of the Student Conduct Code managed by the student resolution center. The Responsible Action Exemption policy currently exists for students seeking medical assistance for themselves or others for emergency situations that result from alcohol and other drug abuse. It applies to both students and organizations and is an important resource for those considering how to support the health and safety from members and those that may attend fraternity/sorority events or programs.
