    Information about Hazing Prevention

     

    The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, Student Conduct, Athletics, Housing and Residence Life, Student Governance and Organizations, and UTA Ambassadors is proud to be involved with the planning of the National Hazing Prevention Week 2011.

     

    National Hazing Prevention Week is observed on campuses and within organizations each year during the last week of September (or another time that is more convenient). Activities range from brown bag lunch discussions among faculty to movie or book discussions with students; training for organizational and team leaders, to the signing of anti-hazing pledges. Some plan an entire week of activities and programs and some simply plan one or two meaningful programs. Whatever you do, the important thing is to DO SOMETHING!

    Utilizing a national awareness week is a great way to bring attention to the problem of hazing locally; to educate parents, faculty and staff, students, community members, local and campus police and others so they can more easily recognize hazing - and more importantly - have the skills to intervene, when hazing occurs.

    The ultimate goal of these efforts, however, is to prevent hazing from happening in the first place. That goal will only be accomplished through strong educational efforts, diligent policy enforcement and comprehensive and on-going efforts on each campus and within all organizations.

     Please contact Reginal@uta.edu if you are interested in educating the campus community at UTA about hazing.
