In accordance with Chi Psi’s risk management policy, all undergraduate members participate in the Risk Management Education Program, a 5-unit training course that explains our current insurance policy, gives examples of past incidents, and shares strategies for dealing with emergency situations. Most importantly, the course educates our members on risk avoidance. Each unit caters to the specific needs of members as they progress through their undergraduate career and their post-graduate life. |

The Program for Self Development (PSD) provides the new pledge class an opportunity to look inward and understand the importance of personal development by understanding his own personality and how to use this understanding to reach his full potential. It also teaches the benefits of goal-setting in establishing short- and long-term goals, as well as mutual assistance in being more self-disciplined in relying on one’s own ability in addition to the strengths of others. It is a weekend program meant for the incoming pledge class, conducted off campus by an alumnus facilitator provided by the National Fraternity. While identifying their primary motivational strengths and learning styles, new members learn the importance and use of peer-group feedback. They also learn the consequences of inappropriate goal-setting and ways to recover from those effects. Since the program relies on both individual and group participation, it allows the pledges to achieve a better understanding of one another. |

Through the Education, Responsibility, and Action Program (ERA), our men discuss their values and convictions and apply them toward the development of strategies to address alcohol abuse and other harmful activity. It is a values-based alcohol education program that employs a detailed discussion of Chi Psi Fraternity values to stimulate the development of responsible behavior from our men. Referencing the horrible events that took place recently on the Colorado-Boulder campus at one of our chapters, ERA goes beyond the typical ‘thou shalt not’ alcohol program by speaking to values, character, and loyalty to Brothers and peers. |
