Lights, Camera, Action: Media Readiness for the Fraternity/Sorority Professional
September 2007
A reality of fraternity and sorority life is that unfortunate crisis situations (an alcohol-related injury or death, hazing incident, etc.) can arise at any time and the media may suddenly appear at your office... or on the doorstep of your chapters. This seminar will prepare you for such situations, teach you skills in dealing with the media, and provide tools for you to train your students and volunteers on how to handle the situation.
