Dealing with Difficult Situations

A number of difficult situations may arise during your time as a House Director. Some members may refuse to positively participate in the chapter; others may blatantly disregard rules and policies. Still others will try to only complain or be destructive with their behavior and actions. When these situations occur, it is best to acknowledge what is going on and take action. To ignore the problem could result in tension and a waste of time.


Upon confronting difficult members, it is essential to have resources at your disposal for support. Know that you are not alone and should establish a good relationship with both your chapter officers and alumni volunteers.
It is also important that you do not become interrogating or patronizing. You want to make it clear that you are approaching them because you care about them and the chapter, not because you are a cop and it‘s your job to uphold the law.

The Seven Step Plan for Confrontation
Step One: Initiate Contact

Understandably, you must first make contact with the person to be confronted in an appropriate setting. It is best to pick a private place where neither individual feels threatened.


Step Two: Establish Rapport

Create a sense of mutual trust—a sense that both people present really care about each other.


Step Three: Identify the Problem

Work with the person to identify the issue or problem that prompted you to seek him/her out. They must agree that there is a problem. If not, you must return to Step Two. During the problem identification process, it is important that you not ask the question, ―why? If you do, you will be told why—and that becomes the reason or excuse for the behavior.


Step Four: Agree Upon the Problem

The individual being confronted must agree that a problem does, in fact, exist. Otherwise, the person will not buy into the following steps—he/she will lack the necessary motivation. If he/she does not agree that a problem exists, you must return to Step Two or Three.


Step Five: Obtain Attainable Commitment

After the person agrees that a problem exists, you must mutually agree upon an attainable commitment on his/her part. It must be a commitment which the person has the potential to fulfill. You must provide the person with an opportunity to win, to succeed.




Step Six: Keep Commitment

On a mutually predetermined date and time, get together again with the individual to determine whether or not he has been able to keep the commitment. If so, move to Step Seven. If not, return to Step Five and redefine what is an attainable commitment from the person.


Step Seven: Praise Success

When success is realized, offer praise and positive feedback. Then obtain a commitment for further changes by returning to the fifth step and extending what was an attainable commitment.




University of Iowa Alcohol & Hazing Policies



Alcohol. Student organizations recognized by a student governing body or an academic college must abide by all University rules governing possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages. University alcohol regulations are described in Section II (D.) of the Policies & Regulations affecting Students. University policy prohibits the use of University funds for the purchase of alcoholic beverages for events on campus or off campus. In addition, any reference to alcohol in advertising for the activity shall be omitted. During the event, the sponsoring student organization is responsible for ensuring that state laws concerning sale, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages are observed.

Alcoholic beverage service will not be available to student organizations sponsoring events in the Iowa Memorial Union where students under the age of 21 are in attendance. Student organizations whose membership consists of students over the age of 21 may request alcoholic beverage service as an amenity to a program held in the Iowa Memorial Union. A Request Form for Alcoholic Beverage Service must accompany the Event Information Form and be submitted to IMU Guest and Event Services no later than 30 days prior to the scheduled date of the event. If approved, all State, University, and IMU policies and procedures related to the sale and service of alcoholic beverages will be observed. Additional information regarding the sale, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the IMU and on the University campus is contained in the IMU Alcohol Beverage Service Policy.

Greek-letter chapters affiliated with the Interfraternity Council or Panhellenic Association must abide by the Events Policy established by their respective governing body.
Hazing. The Code of Student Life and the Policy on Violence prohibit harassment, assault, and other forms of threatening behavior. When threatening behavior takes place within the context of a student organization or club and is directed at a student interested in participating in group activities, sanctions will be imposed upon the group or club as well as the students. Sanctions up to and including de-recognition from the University are imposed upon a group or club when one or more members or associates of the group or club commit an act of hazing.

In addition to institutional sanctions, a person who commits an act of hazing may be subject to criminal sanctions under section 708.10 of the Code of Iowa . The University defines hazing more broadly than the Code of Iowa criminal definition. In applying the anti-hazing policy to individual cases, the following standards will be utilized during the administrative process to determine whether a hazing violation did occur as alleged.

Hazing is any intentional or unintentional reckless action or situation – with or without consent – that endangers a student or creates risk of injury, mental or physical discomfort, harassment, embarrassment, and/or ridicule – whether on campus or off campus – for the purpose of initiation into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in any student organization or team recognized by the University of Iowa Student Government or by any other University sponsor.

Acts of hazing include, but are not limited to: compulsory alcohol or drug consumption; physical brutality; psychological cruelty; public humiliation; morally degrading activities; forced confinement; creation of excessive fatigue; required removal or destruction of public or private property; or any other activity that endangers the physical, mental, psychological, or academic well-being and/or safety of an individual. Any requirement imposed upon prospective, new, or current members which is not related to the organization's purpose is discouraged and will become the subject of a University investigation once the practice is brought to the attention of the Office of Student Life.



This policy applies to all UI students and all UI student organizations and clubs. Some University programs promulgate anti-hazing policies specifically for students participating in their programs. The Department of Athletics enforces a hazing policy, as does the UI Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council. Copies are available at the respective department offices.
