IMPORTANT - GREEK COMMUNITY SAFETY

Greek  Community!

With  the  Greek  Moratorium  coming  to  an  end  and  organizations  having  the  opportunity  to  host  wet  events  starting  tonight,  our  of=ice  wanted  to  provide  you  with  a  few  safety  reminders  and  tips:  • All  organizational  events  must  be  

registered  and  approved  with  our  of=ice  through  the  SERF  Form  system  (http://serf.sdes.ucf.edu/form).    Additionally,  if  an  event  is  being  held  on  campus  it  may  require  a  SAFE  Form  (http://safe.sdes.ucf.edu/)  depending  on  the  number  of  attendees,  food  and  drink  associated  with  the  event,  activities,  etc.  

• If  you  are  having  a  wet  event,  you  must  provide  the  Of=ice  of  Fraternity  and  Sorority  Life  with  a  guest  list  that  includes  all  members  who  are  attending  the  event,  their  dates,  and  members'  and  dates'  PIDs  (you  may  use  a  birth  date  for  guests  who  do  not  attend  UCF).

• Your  guest  list  must  also  indicate  your  sober  monitors.    10%  of  your  membership  in  attendance  at  a  wet  event  must  serve  as  sober  monitors.

• Group  Responsibility:  Please  keep  in  mind  that  the  actions  of  one  individual  (active  or  inactive)  may  impact  the  entire  chapter.    It  is  important  to  review  risk  management  procedures  and  guidelines  with  your  chapter  members  before  each  event  (wet  or  dry)  in  order  to  set  expectations.    Periodic  education  on  the  topic  of  Group  Responsibility  should  occur  even  if  events  aren't  

planned  as  your  members  represent  your  organization  even  at  unsanctioned  chapter  events.

• Wet  events  do  not  have  to  be  at  bars.    The  majority  of  our  members  are  under  21  and  cannot  drink.    Why  not  try  having  a  social  at  a  venue  that  isn't  centered  around  alcohol  but  serves  alcohol?    Some  great  examples  include  a  Magic  game,  Solar  Bears  game,  Orlando  City  soccer  game,  Whirly  Dome,  The  Great  Escape  Room,  or  the  Disney  Dine  in  Movie  Theater.    If  you  need  additional  ideas  feel  free  to  contact  other  chapters  or  Olivia  Escalona  (Olivia.Escalona@ucf.edu),  our  Coordinator  of  Risk  Prevention.

• Alcohol  Emergency  Plan  (AEP):  Students  who  seek  medical  help  for  themselves  or  others,  due  to  alcohol  consumption,  may  not  receive  disciplinary  action  for  Alcohol  Beverages  Violations.    AEP  incidents  will  not  result  in  a  disciplinary  record  with  the  university;  however  UCF  PD  and  other  law  enforcement  agencies  still  have  the  right  to  enforce  the  law.    Bottom  line:  you  are  your  brother's/sister's  keeper.    If  someone  needs  help,  get  them  the  help  they  need  to  make  sure  they  are  safe.

 Please  email  Olivia  if  you  have  any  questions  or  concerns.    Have  a  great  weekend!

SIGMA LAMBDA GAMMASince Feb 18th 2001, Sigma Lambda Gamma has continued to leave an incredible impression on the UCF community. Their charter week, “50 Shades of Gamma”, is designed to incorporate the sorority values of community service, social interaction, morals and ethics, academics, and culture awareness.

The week began with a community service featuring the Boys and Girls Club of Central Florida. The FIRM family consisting of Phi Beta Sigma , Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Lambda Beta and of course Sigma Lambda Gamma organized a field day for the afterschool program. Day two, “50 Shades of Empowerment”, was dedicated to academics and features a workshop on professionalism in conjunction with career services here on campus. On February 18th, the Iota Beta chapter charter day, consisted of an incredible presentation of strolling and stepping by the Greek community. Thursday’s principle event was dedicated to morals and ethics and featured UCF health services, Victim Services and Faravilla adult store. Here attendees were able to learn about healthy relationships, sexual health and more. The last day consisted of the Iota Beta Chapter annual Gammas Got Culture event. This event enlightened the UCF community of the many culture represented within chapter. In reflection the Iota Beta chapters “50 Shades of Gamma” week was an incredible success.
