Honor. Trust. Integrity. Respect. Self-Governance. Tradition.
While the University has many traditions, hazing has no place in the University experience.

For Students

Students at the University can experience and view hazing from a variety of perspectives:

As a student leader, your club or organization may be evaluating traditions concerning membership. As part of this evaluation, student leaders should consider alternatives to hazing. The staff in the Office of the Dean of Students/Student Activities and Fraternity & Sorority Life are available to assist and support student leaders as they assess traditions.

As someone who may have experienced or witnessed hazing, there are multiple resources for seeking assistance and for reporting hazing.

As a friend, roommate, or resident assistant, you may have a fellow student approach you to discuss a hazing related event.  In this instance, it’s important to recognize the signs of hazing and to identify ways to help.   In these conversations, friends can provide a supportive network while also reinforcing that hazing has no place in the University experience.

As a University student, you may be interested and eager to address hazing. To learn more about our prevention efforts and to contact others involved in this initiative, please click here.
