1. What is H a z i n g?
“Hazing is any action or situation, with or without
the consent of the participants, which recklessly,
intentionally, or unintentionally endangers the
mental, physical, or academic health or safety of
a student.”
"It's harmless. It's great for
team building. It's one of our
traditions. It was done to us.”
• Alcohol consumption, humiliation,
isolation, sleep- deprivation, and sex
acts are hazing practices common
across types of student groups.
• Since 1970, there has been at least
one hazing-related death on a college
campus each year.
• 82% percent of deaths from hazing
involve alcohol.
• In 95% of hazing cases, students who
were aware they were hazed did not
report it.
• In 25% of hazing cases, coaches or
advisors who were aware of hazing
incidents did not report it.
• Students are more likely to be hazed if
they knew an adult who was hazed.
• More than half of college students are
involved in some form of campus
hazing.
How do I stop hazing?
• Take responsibility, when you see it
occurring or when it happens to you
• Speak up and reporting it immediately – you
may save a life!
• Make others aware of what hazing is and
their responsibility for preventing it – hazing
prevention is everyone’s responsibility
• Don’t be a bystander
