Research shows some startling facts about adult
involvement in hazing:

  • 50%

    More than 50% of students involved in clubs, teams, and organizations experience hazing

  • 25%

    In 25% of hazing experiences, students believe coaches and/or advisors were aware of the activities

  • 25%

    In 25% of hazing experiences, students reported that alumni were present

Some of the most frequently reported hazing behaviors include, drinking games, sleep deprivation and verbal abuse.

As with people everywhere, many professionals believe that hazing is an effective way to help groups bond and create shared experiences. As a result, many professionals support hazing, if only passively, because they feel it has its place as long as it doesn’t go too far—meaning actual harm.

Research shows that hazing does not lead to strong bonds among teams or groups, and in fact, it can lead group members to distrust one another.

It’s time to step up.

Take the Hazing Prevention Pledge.

 

Fill in the form to take the Hazing Prevention Pledge. You can view and download your pledge immediately after submitting.

I PLEDGE: to prevent hazing before it occurs, stop hazing when I see it happening, report it when I know it has transpired, and help empower others to do the same in their organizations, schools and communities.

I JOIN OTHERS TO:

  • Recognize the harm that hazing can cause both physically and psychologically;
  • Condemn the act of hazing on all levels;
  • Admonish those who haze and those who enable hazing through their silence, and;
  • Be an advocate for the prevention of hazing

Your email address is not required to take the pledge and HazingPrevention.Org will not share or post that information to others. If you provide it, HPO may email you our newsletter and other items of interest. You may always opt out of our communication.
