Huskies Don’t Haze

What is Hazing?

Hazing is defined as behavior that includes but is not limited to the participation in any activity, whether on or off campus by an organization, group, or member of the organization or group that endangers, creates, or causes a substantial risk to an individual’s mental or physical health.

• Behavior that causes risk to an individual or group’s safety. Hazing may also include the defacing, destruction, or removal of public or private property for the purpose of initiation, admission, affiliation with and or continued membership within a group or organization.
• Behavior or an activity that causes fear or intimidation, embarrassment or ridicule, physical harm, injury, exhaustion, endangerment, mental and physical fatigue, negatively impacts an individual or causes duress.

The intent of the act or the consent or the cooperation of the individual(s) experiencing such behavior does not defend or justify such behavior.
