Do members of your chapter believe in the benefits of hazing? Do you? Are you aware of the possible consequences? Most chapters and individual members that are caught hazing knew the consequences, but continued to haze in spite of them. Why? Are our members (and prospective members) addicted to hazing? In this session, we will have an honest, open dialogue about the benefits and challenges of hazing, revealing the true nature of hazing, rites of passage, and traditions. Finally, we will discuss how to navigate this thorny issue, and lead your chapter and community.

- DESCRIPTION: Do members of your chapter believe in the benefits of hazing? Do you? Are you aware of the possible consequences? Most chapters and individual members that are caught hazing knew the consequences, but continued to haze in spite of them. Why? Are our members (and prospective members) addicted to hazing? In this session, we will have an honest, open dialogue about the benefits and challenges of hazing, revealing the true nature of hazing, rites of passage, and traditions. Finally, we will discuss how to navigate this thorny issue, and lead your chapter and community. 5/5 Introduction 10/15 Defining Brotherhood -Gang mentality, Shared social experiences, Common interests, Accountability to shared values (connect to classic or recent movies?) 15/30 Brotherhood Fuel Tank -How much of each type of brotherhood makes up your chapter?

- Gang mentality “My brothers support me and “have my back” because we’ve been through a lot together. They would do anything for me, and I would do anything for them.”
- Shared social experiences “My brothers and I do almost everything together – they are the people I prefer to spend most of my time with and we always have a blast, whatever we’re doing.”
- Common interests “My brothers and I are drawn together by our similar beliefs, values and backgrounds. They are my best friends and will be the groomsmen in my wedding.”
- Accountability to shared values “My brothers help make me a better person by holding me to high standards based on our shared values.”
