~ 79% of NCAA athletes report coming to college with a prior hazing experience from high school or middle school
What is Hazing
~ Types of Hazing

~ Simulating sexual activities
~ Being subjected to a perceived physical danger (including beatings,
~ Requirement to endure hardships such as staying awake, physical labor
~ Coerced alcohol abuse
~ Personal servitude or meaningless tasks
Hazing Facts to Know
~ Any setting in which total respect for everyone’s dignity is not present can lead to a hazing climate/environment.
~ “Severity” is not always measured in observed harm . Some hazing victims report that the mental hazing they endured was worse that being physically abused.
~ Earlier trauma can make what may seem like a prank to some, emotionally distressing to others.
~ Pre-emption and prevention is much more effective than reaction.
~ Hazing is denied by using aliases: Pranks, stunts, antics, traditions, initiations, rites of passage
~ Alcohol reduces inhibitions and the ability to resist or protest.
~ Where there is a power imbalance, there is a risk of coercion.
Difference Between Hazing and Bullying
~ The Intersection of Bullying and Hazing – how are they similar?
~ Motivation for bullying and hazing is often identity-based
~ Imbalance of power exists
~ Left unchecked each can contribute to an environment where the behavior is acceptable
~ Each is a precursor to more destructive, hateful behavior
~ The Intersection of Bullying and Hazing – how are they different?
~ Bullying excludes the target from the group, whereas hazing is a ritual or process imposed on a person who wants to be part of the group
~ Bullies often act alone, but hazing usually involves a group, team or organization
How is Hazing Justified?
~ Moral Justification – Make it socially worthy (e.g., creating bonds, building unity).
~ Euphemistic labeling – Sanitized language of non-responsibility (e.g., “team building”).
~ Advantageous comparison – War analogy – “We’re going to battle.”
~ Diffusion of Responsibility – Normative conformity “Everyone is doing it;” avoidance of personal responsibility.
~ Disregard/distortion of consequences – No evidence anyone was seriously injured.
~ Athlete on a scholarship
~ Sorority member who has paid dues, meal plan, lives in house
~ Team member who dropped out because he “changed his mind.”
How is Hazing Justified?
~ Displacement of responsibility
~ “We’re just carrying on tradition”
~ Intentionally uninformed – “We don’t have a problem with hazing here,” or “I don’t want to know.”
~ Surreptitious sanctioning (wink and nod)
~ Dehumanization – Perception of freshmen as “less than”; use of masks, costumes, etc.
~ Attribution of Blame – Blame the victim – “They agreed to it.”
