Hazing is defined as anything that does not contribute to positive member development.  It is involved when a chapter, team, student organization, or its members think not what they can do for the new members/associates, but what they can do to the new members/associates. Hazing subverts and corrupts the student experience and can occur any time chapter, team, or student organization members do not treat new members/associates with dignity.

Key words: intimidation, degradation, discomfort, inconvenience, humiliation, ridiculous tricks, physical abuse, mental or emotional abuse.

It is important to understand that participating in hazing in any form rather the hazer, the hazed or the member or new member/associate that allows hazing to continue without reporting it is in violation of the policies outlined below and could be held accountable both by the College and in a court of law.
