FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

• What do we do at Ladder of Risk?
  Ladder of Risk is an interactive three hour workshop where students learn about risk management policies, practical ways to host safer events, and best practices for prevention planning. Ladder or Risk also provides the opportunity for student leaders to engage in conversations about how we can all create a safer sorority and fraternity community through large group discussion and small group activities. Attendees should arrive in advance to check-in, since all programs will start promptly at the time stated.
• Who should register for the event and how do we register?
  Chapter attendance expectations are clearly outlined in the registration form for the chapter's respective session. In order to register, each chapter must complete one registration form that includes their attendees contact information. All chapters and councils must register by Friday, February 1st.
  
  Given the timing of Ladder of Risk this year and overlap with other council leadership commitments, council leadership is highly encouraged but not required to attend. If you are able to, we recommend that you register two officers from your council's executive board to attend, preferably the president and judicial/standards/risk management officer.
