I. Opening
Ice Breaker — Commonalities
The purpose of this activity is to have each small group find as many things in common as possible that you cannot tell by looking at them, their gender or affiliation to Kappa.
Instruct the group to get into clusters of four to five people. Each group must make a list of as many things in common as possible (e.g., all go to school in a different state from where they live, all have brothers, love tacos, etc.) in five minutes.
Then, each cluster must pick the two most interesting or unique commonalities and share them with the larger group.
Introduction
Today, we are going to dig into your position a little more. You will have an opportunity to learn more about risk management (beyond managing a social …show more content…
• Officers will be able to define risk and understand the importance of risk management beyond events.
Why do you think that addressing risk management is important to us as sisters?
Allow officers to give a few answers.
Let’s consider the promise we each made as new members. “I give my name and interest to Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma to keep sacredly; I pledge loyalty, sincerity and friendship to the members of this Fraternity. I will avoid doing anything to injure the name of Kappa Kappa Gamma and above all, I will be womanly and true.”
Ask: “What words stand out to you from our promise?”
Allow a few women to answer, encourage them to expand on why those words stood out to them.
Ask: “What activities would you define as risky?” Record their answers on the newsprint
We have had a great discussion regarding what risk might look like. Let’s move onto an activity to develop this a little bit more.

When the stack falls ask “Which block caused the Fraternity to fall?” They may answer with what the last action was, but you are looking for someone to say that all of the actions lead the Fraternity to fall (fail). Be sure to read any of the left over cards so they can hear all of the actions.
Discussion Questions
• How does this activity relate back to your own chapter?
• How can sister support prevent the stack from falling? (Imagine that instead of the block being stacked on top, the behavior was addressed and the block placed back into the stack. The block may have some kinks and scratches, but it is stronger with the support of other blocks around it.)
• What is your responsibility in addressing issues like the ones highlighted on the cards?
• Remember that you can utilize support from the Standards Committee to help you address these issues. The partnership between the Vice President-Standards and you as the Risk Management Chairman is an important piece of holding members accountable for their behavior.
III. Risk Further Defined
Now that we have played some Jenga, let’s look back at our early list of risky behavior. Is there anything you would like to add? Is there anything that you would like to take off the
