Kappa Alpha Order was founded in 1865 at a time when the term risk management would have sounded as Greek as our letters. Over the past several decades, KA has suffered both victories and setbacks when it comes to risk management and risk reduction. Risk management, as we know it, has changed over the last twenty years in both concept and implementation. Kappa Alpha Order continues to strive to be a leader in fraternity risk management which can be seen in our efforts in helping to form FRMT, Ltd.
Risk management doesn’t mean the risk will go away. Even the seemingly safest activities can have unanticipated consequences. What risk management is, however, is a proactive effort conducted in advance of an action or event to minimize the potential harm or negative result. The main reason the concept of risk management and risk reduction must be understood and practiced is to ensure the safety of our members and their guest. Only through proper reduction and management of liability will we, as an organization be able to continue to offer young men all the opportunities that membership in KA allows. Safety is and always will be our number one concern and the driving force behind any risk management program.
If you or your chapter has any questions at any time about our policies or ways to reduce your risk, please don’t hesitate to contact the National Administrative Office.
