2. First, the bad news
1. According to Dr. Susan Lipkins, “Over
the past ten years, hazing has become
more violent, more humiliating, and
more sexual. Hazing is a virus that has
attacked our youth and is spreading
quickly.”

3. First, the bad news:
Claims are being made that hazing is
more prevalent at HBCUs

4. First the bad news:
A recent editorial from the HBCU Digest
assert that the financial cost that hazing
causes to your school can impede its
growth for decades, if not generations. …
The social capital cost lost by such an
incident can be simply immeasurable on a
schools brand.

5. Now, some good news
Coalitions and taskforces currently
being formed will heighten awareness
on our campuses about the
consequences of hazing.
For example, the Anti-hazing Coalition led by Dr. Jimmy
Hammock, International President of Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity, Inc.

6. Now, some good news
The launching of the new ANTIHAZE
National Hazing Hotline providing
students, parents, faculty and staff,
and other stakeholders a “tool” that
they can use to deter hazing.
How is this hotline different from other hazing hotlines that are
operational?

7. Some features of the ANTIHAZE
Hazing Hotline
The ANTIHAZE Hazing Hotline that is available
to any student, parent, or other person who
chooses to use it to give notice about hazing
activities to the appropriate officials at any
university. This scope of service makes
ANTIHAZE a national hazing hotline, perhaps
the first truly national hazing hotline.

Hotline calls from college students or stakeholders
anywhere in America are promptly forwarded to the
appropriate officials at the university which they specify
during their call;
Confidential Hazing Alarm automated interviews
relative to active hazing are recorded;
Confidential Hazing Alert automated interviews relative
to planned hazing are recorded;

relative to recent hazing incidents are recorded;

9. Some features of the ANTIHAZE Hazing Hotline
5.
Each Hazing Notices recorded on the Hotline can be
immediately forwarded by email or text messages to
responders facilitating a rapid response;
6. Confirmation information is requested from each caller
in an effort to authenticate supplement the
information given in each call;
7. The identity of callers to the ANTIHAZE Hotline is
protected, minimizing the risk of retaliation against
callers or callers being ostracized.
These features should combine to make the ANTIHAZE
Hazing Hotline a highly effective hazing deterrent in the
near future as student use of the hotline expands.
