Enjoy, safely, the warm weather

Watch out especially for members on decks, fire escapes, etc. as tehse can be dangerous locations to enjoy the warm weather. Have fun, but be safe. |
Spring Break safety tips Regardless of your members' destination this Spring Break, encourage your sisters to keep the following safety tips in mind:
- Before you leave home, make sure your room and personal belongings as well as the chapter house facility is secure. Spring Break provides an easy opportunity for thieves to break into empty fraternity houses, if not properly secured. Take special consideration in leaving security lights on, stopping mail delivery or having a local alumni advisor or association member check on the house during the week while chapter members are away.
- Where ever you may travel during the break, remember there is safety in numbers-do things as a group and use the buddy system when appropriate.
- Make sure that someone at home has all the information about your trip: hotel room and phone number, travel plans, contact information for you and your companions. Plan to check in with someone at home regularly.
- Keep your identification, medical cards and emergency contact information with you at all times.
- Remember that you are not immortal. Students are notorious for believing that nothing bad will happen to them, and they will try anything at least once. Don't throw caution to the winds but instead exercise extreme care not to place yourself in physically dangerous situations you would not dare to undergo at home. In a report on Spring Break from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, sociologist Dr. Raquel Kennedy Bergen said, "Unfamiliar locations increase vulnerability. Psychologically, people may be more inclined to try new behaviors and step outside their 'comfort zone' when away from home."
Enjoy the opportunity spring break provides for a sisterhood trip or unique adventure - be it social or service in nature, but at the same time plan ahead, be safe and be smart. |
