Judiciary Committee - Alpha Kappa Psi

"Upholding Alpha Kappa Psi core values through a fair judicial process to build a better fraternity for tomorrow."

The primary function of the Alpha Kappa Psi Judiciary Committee (JC) is to help protect the reputation of the fraternity through use of the risk management polices. The JC is both proactive and reactive in nature. It maintains resources and tools for chapters and volunteers to assist with the education of risk management issues. The reactionary function of the JC is to investigate the actions of chapters, members and guests that may have violated policies or be considered detrimental to the fraternity.

The JC is appointed by the board of directors and is tasked with:

Acting as a consulting body for any chapter (student or alumni) disciplining its members according to the fraternity’s governing documents;
Serve as the investigative body for any cases in which the chapter/Regional Management Team is unable or unwilling;
Serve as the investigative body for any matters involving the investigation of a chapter;
Provide ongoing review of fraternal governing documents to ensure their integrity as those documents pertain to disciplinary matters (including updates as mandated by changes in US/Indiana law);
Reviewing cases which were adjudicated by other parties;
Provide educational information for safe risk management practices; and
Any additional duties as assigned by the Board of Directors.
