Welcome
Welcome to the Kolusis Risk Management page for the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Council at the University of Illinois.

Risk management failures and crises continue to pose significant threats to fraternities and sororities nationwide. While these threats sometimes take the form of lawsuits and revocation of social calendars, they sometimes more tragically end in death or serious injury.  Poor risk management can jeopardize your chapter’s rights to recruit, participate athletically, and engage socially.  The lives of the brother/sister next to you, visitors at your chapter’s functions, and your friends are all at risk. Therefore, it is essential that proper procedures and guidelines be followed.

When tragedies occur at fraternity or sorority-hosted events, executive members can often be lawfully held responsible.  It is our goal, as VP’s of Risk Management for the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Council, to ensure the prevention of such events.  We are responsible for the education and aiding of Chapter Presidents, Risk Managers, and Social Chairs in explaining pertinent procedures for hosting events to their members.

Our primary responsibility is the oversight of Kolusis.  Kolusis observers represent the University of Illinois’ ability to self-govern.  Kolusis consists of fraternity and sorority members who observe other fraternity and sorority social events ensuring compliance with IFC and PHC policies and procedures.  2009 marks a major milestone in our short history, involving the recent introduction of sorority members and Kolusis certification to our observer team.  In its first pilot year, sorority members seek participation in a growing, changing risk prevention community.  

Fraternity and sorority members have experienced many improvements in the Kolusis system in the past couple years.  It is our goal to advance the importance of Kolusis observers and ensure safety among all Greek members and their guests.

We invite you to use this webpage for information regarding Event Registration, Kolusis & BYOB Policies, and other essential resources.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns regarding Risk Management.

We look forward to working with you.

Best Regards,
Mark Cynova & Jenn Kudirka
