1. Assess the Situation

Be able to recognize hazing when it’s happening around you.

Ask yourself:

• • Is it causing embarrassment, harassment or ridicule and risking emotional or physical harm?

• • Will we have to keep this secret? What will happen if someone posts this online?

• • Is this illegal? Is this wrong?
    
    
    
    

2. Speak Out!

Express your concerns and suggest alternatives. Remind others of your group’s goals and mission.

Consider:

• • Is it worth the risk? Who is going to take responsibility for this?

• • What happens if this goes wrong and someone gets hurt? What are we really trying to do here?

• • I’m not OK with this. Are you?
    
    
    

3. Remove Yourself Safely

Do not physically intervene and DON’T drive away under the influence.

This is an opportunity to convince others it’s not a good idea and they may follow.

4. Report

First: Call 911 if life is in danger!

As soon as possible, notify the proper authorities, such as:

• • Administrator

• • Campus Police

• • Club Director

• • Coach

• • Guidance Counselor

• • Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life

• • Parents

• • Student Services Advisor
