Hazing Prevention

Faculty and Staff

It is everyone’s responsibility to protect the Pack. Students who are being hazed or treated poorly by a group are almost always afraid to speak up. Having someone they can confide in – a favorite faculty member, a work-study supervisor, an academic advisor, a coach, or teaching assistant – is very important. If you suspect that hazing is occurring, please report it through the Office of Student Conduct and learn more about What to Do. If someone’s life is in danger, call 911 immediately.

As of January 1, 2025, members of the University community who are classified as “Campus Security Authorities” or CSAs under the Clery Act are required to share any and all reports of hazing (as defined in the Clery Act) using the Campus Security Authority Incident Report Form. The relevant student organization or group involved in hazing does not have to be recognized or established by the University to trigger this mandatory reporting. See the Clery Compliance webpage for more information.

Report an incident

Here are some signs that could indicate a student is being treated poorly by a group or being hazed:

  • Required to carry certain items
  • Cutting, branding, labeling, or shaving of parts of the body
  • Required “greeting” of members in a specific manner when seen on campus
  • Required walking in groups to class, food service, etc.
  • Performing of special tasks for the members or others
  • Appearance of sadness or expressions of inferiority
  • Extreme tiredness in class due to sleep deprivation
  • Withdrawal from normal activities or friends
  • Using code words and phrases to mask the actual nature of an event or activity
  • Required periods of silence or having a cell phone confiscated by a peer
  • Required to wear a specific outfit
  • Out of character behavior in public that is intentionally embarrassing to self
