Hazing Statement

Hazing is an unlawful activity that violates the policies of LIU. Hazing humiliates, degrades and endangers the mental and physical health of individuals. Although hazing was originally associated with military groups and organizations such as fraternities and sororities, today incidents of hazing involve athletic teams, marching bands and almost any group or association on college campuses. Hazing is incompatible with the LIU policy of respect for all individuals and is absolutely prohibited.

Hazing is:

● Any beating or physical abuse ● Forced wearing of clothing *except an official membership pin ● Forced confinement ● Forced eating or drinking ● Forcing a person to be the object of malicious amusement, ridicule or verbal abuse ● Binge drinking ● Encouraging a person to not engage in personal hygiene

● Sleep deprivation ● Servitude ● Sexual assault or nudity ● Creation of excessive fatigue or stress ● Abusive tricks designed to subject a person to ridicule ● “Drop offs” or “dumps” in unfamiliar locations ● Forcing or encouraging any person to violate any LIU policy or any federal, state or local law ● Forcing a person to carry unnecessary objects at all time ● Any other activity that causes harm, emotional stress, or makes the individual feel uncomfortable
