This investigation is the most comprehensive
study of hazing to date and includes survey responses
from more than 11,000 undergraduate students
at 53 colleges and universities in different
regions of the U.S. and interviews with more
than 300 students and staff at 18 of these campuses.
What is hazing? Hazing is any activity expected
of someone joining or participating in a group
that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers
them regardless of a person’s willingness
to participate.
Led by University of Maine researchers Elizabeth
Allan and Mary Madden, the study is supported
by more than 30 Project Partners. The North American
Interfraternal Foundation (NIF) was a key sponsor,
arranging for the participation of the other
partners including the NCAA.
Through the vision and efforts of many, this
study fills a major gap in the research and extends
the breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding
about hazing. Ten initial findings are described
in the report, Hazing in View: College Students
at Risk and include:
- More than half of college students involved
in clubs, teams, and organizations experience
hazing.
- Nearly half (47%) of students have experienced
hazing prior to coming to college.
- Alcohol consumption, humiliation, isolation,
sleep- deprivation, and sex acts are hazing practices
common across student groups.
