be safe.
The weather is warming up
which means students are ready to head outside to celebrate the end of cabin
fever. Please remind your members to make good decisions for themselves
and for the chapter. Make sure that chapter decks, fire escapes, and roofs are
being utilized for what they were designed. These can be dangerous
locations if members and guests are intoxicated, not allowed access, and if
they are not using the structure as it was designed to be used. We want
everyone to have fun, but please be safe and help your members be safe! |
