Which item below is a risk management example?

• A. History and traditions
• B. Ritual symbols and confidentiality
• C. Event planning safety and emergency procedures
• D. Alumni fundraising strategies

Answer: (C)

Risk management is about identifying potential hazards, putting safeguards in place, and having a clear plan to respond to emergencies during activities. The option involving event planning safety and emergency procedures fits this best because it requires anticipating what could go wrong at events (like alcohol management, crowd behavior, weather issues, medical incidents), establishing concrete procedures (checklists, emergency contacts, evacuation routes, incident reporting), and ensuring members are trained to handle emergencies. This directly embodies the proactive planning and response focus of risk management.

The other options touch on aspects like culture, identity, and fundraising, which, while important to fraternity life, do not center on planning for safety or handling emergencies.
