Special
event coverage is a General Liability policy that is purchased to insure a
specific function or activity and usually covers a period of time less than 7
days. The usual and customary minimum limit of coverage is $1,000,000 with
higher limits available.
In working with a fraternity or student organization exposure
it is a recommendation of Willis that a special event policy be purchased any
time one of the following caveats exist:
§
Any event/function where alcohol will be present, and
the guest to member ratio exceeds 3 to 1
§
Any event /function involving athletic events or
competition
§
Any event that involves any activity that is deemed to
be potentially hazardous by your advisory team, alumni board/house corporation,
fraternity headquarters staff or Willis representative
If alcohol is present at the event, then the coverage
purchased should include "host liquor liability" coverage. If the
event is an athletic competition, the coverage purchased should include
"participant legal liability" coverage.

If the special event you are planning involves athletic
activity of any kind, such as an intramural competition or fundraiser involving
athletic/sporting events, please complete the Sports Liability Application and
submit via facsimile in a clear and legible copy to the attention of the

To obtain participant coverage, we must place a medical
accident policy along with a liability program; thus the four page application
is actually two applications in one document.

Important information for Coverage
It is imperative
that you make application for coverage no less than 30 days before the
event to allow ample time to receive a quotation, make premium payment and
obtain needed proof of coverage. No coverage is guaranteed until you receive
written confirmation from Willis.
