Crisis Management Plan

Crisis Reaction

In the event of a serious situation, contact the proper authorities (police, fire, paramedics) immediately. If someone on site is properly trained and able, have him or her administer treatment to anyone injured until professional help arrives. Safely remove all unnecessary parties from the location to avoid confusion and distractions. After those injured are properly cared for, gather all chapter members and inform them of the situation. Make sure they know what has been done and what the chapter is planning to do to remedy the situation. Gather facts and record all accounts of what happened. At a later time, contact all witnesses and record their accounts as well as their names, addresses and phone numbers. Also, remember to take down the names of the police officers who responded to the call. Contact the members of the Crisis Management Team, especially the Chapter Advisor, Grand Praetor, the appropriate Headquarters staff members, and Greek Advisor, to give a complete and accurate account of what happened. Appoint a spokesperson, usually the Consul or Public Relations Chairman, to be the one and only brother dealing with media and other outside parties.1

The following individuals should be contacted immediately:

Consul- Ignatius D'Anna 610-202-4258

Serious Injury or Death of a Brother

•In the event of a serious injury or death, medical or police personnel with appropriate training will notify the family. The chapter should always have parent/guardian information on file for each brother and made available to proper authorities. After the family has been notified, it is appropriate for the Consul to call and share concerns on behalf of the chapter.

•In the event of a death, do not remove any personal items from the deceased brother’s room. Do not let brothers enter the room. Temporarily move the deceased brother’s roommate to another room in the house, and allow only authorized personnel to enter the room. If possible, keep the door locked. Ask the family members what their wishes are with regard to the brother’s possessions. When they arrive, have empty boxes available and offer to help.

•The chapter will want to coordinate brothers' attendance at the funeral or memorial service.

•In the case of serious injury or illness, find out the visitation wishes of the family and coordinate this with chapter brothers.
