Hazing is defined as committing any act against a student or coercing a student into committing an act, on- or off-campus, that creates a substantial risk of mental or physical harm, embarrassment, harassment, ridicule, or injury to the student, in order to be initiated into or affiliated with a student organization. Student organizations include, but are not limited to, student groups recognized by the
Student Senate, academic honor societies, campus ministry groups, fraternities and sororities, and intercollegiate, intramural, and club athletic teams.
Any incidents of hazing should be reported to the vice president for student development or the dean of students, who will investigate the report and take disciplinary action against the student and the organization as appropriate. Disciplinary action against a student may include sanctions up to and including expulsion. Disciplinary actions against the organization may include sanctions up to and including banning the organization from campus.
