The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has created educational requirements to ensure students are educated on the topics of alcohol and substance abuse, interpersonal violence and bystander intervention, hazing, and mental health. Chapters are required to host or attend harm reduction programs on at least two topics over a calendar year as part of the Annual Chapter Expectation (ACE) Program. One of those must be on the topics of alcohol/substance abuse, interpersonal violence/bystander intervention, hazing, or mental health. The other may come from a harm reduction topic of their choice. Hosting the presentation secures one out of a possible two points per program. In order to secure the second point a chapter attendance of 70% or greater must be achieved and a list of attendees submitted with the form.
