4. Physical or psychological shocks. 5. Quests, treasure hunts, road trips or scavenger hunts. 6. Wearing of clothing, which is conspicuous, or in bad taste. 7. Engaging in public stunts or buffoonery. 8. Morally degrading or humiliating games or activities. 9. Late work sessions which interfere with academic preparations. 10. Any activity that is not consistent with fraternal, civil, ritual or policy of the University or which adversely interferes with the mission of the University.

Any individual who feels that he/she has been a victim of hazing may follow one of two procedures: 1. Report the activity to the organization, which would then handle the situation according to its own internal procedures and policies. 2. Report the activity to the organization’s faculty adviser, the

IFC or Panhellenic President(s), Associate Director of Student

Organizations and Leadership Development, the Director or

Associate Director of Athletics, the Director or Assistant Director of Residence Life, or the Associate Vice President of Student

Development and Engagement.

In the case of less serious infractions, the above named individual will attempt to rectify the problem with the offending organization. An adviser, chaplain, administrator or faculty member observing or receiving a report of hazing incident must report the incident to the Student Conduct Officer. The University will notify the national office of the organization with such affiliation. Every effort should be made to keep the name of the new member confidential. In the event that the situation continues or is repeated, or is considered to be of a serious nature, the Student Conduct Officer will automatically handle the matter. Hazing which involves alcohol, harassment, physical or psychological abuse, or which threatens the safety of individuals is considered to be of a serious nature and is subject to severe disciplinary action. The Student Conduct Officer shall have the responsibility to investigate the reported incidents by interviewing the parties involved and collecting written statements to determine if a hazing incident has occurred; to impose an appropriate sanction, up to and including removal of University recognition from the offending organization and expulsion for the individuals involved. The accused organization or individuals have the right to appeal any sanction imposed by the Student Conduct Officer through the Student Conduct Committee.

Any hazing suspicions should be addressed with the chapter and reported to the Associate Director of SOLD, the Director of SOLD, the Student Conduct Officer/Assistant Director of Residence Life, and/or the Associate Vice President Student Development and Engagement.
