HAZING IN FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES

Fraternity and sorority hazings have become a largely focused topic within the media.  There are many lawsuits pertaining to deaths and injuries because of Greek organizations' hazing procedures.  Whether you are for or against hazing, there are important websites that give definitions to, information about, alternatives to, and laws regarding hazings in the college fraternities and sororities.

Because of the attention towards hazing within the fraternities and sororities, many of the states within the United States have developed their own laws for hazing.  Unfortunately, there are six states that currently do not have laws, they are:  Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wyoming.  To visit Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio's hazing laws, visit the following:

Most fraternities and sororities take pride in their history, culture, and their members.  Therefore, many of them have better defined their definition of hazing and the steps they take to enforce their policies.  To obtain a list of the different sororities and fraternities and their policies, please visit the following:
