Hazing is prohibited. Hazing is defined as any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person, whether individually or in concert with others, against another person or persons (regardless of their willingness to participate) that (1) is undertaken in the course of initiation into, affiliation with, or maintenance of membership in a Student Organization; and (2) causes or creates a risk (beyond the reasonable risks inherent in participation in the institution or the organization) of physical or psychological injury.  Hazing may occur on or off campus, in person, or in virtual settings. The perception of the individual subjected to Hazing does not determine whether an act constitutes Hazing. Additionally, an individual’s failure to object or apparent willingness to participate does not negate the fact that Hazing has occurred.
