knowing, or reckless action, request, or creation of circumstances that: endangers
the health or safety of any individual, causes or presents a substantial risk of physical
injury, serious mental distress, or personal humiliation to any individual, or involves
the destruction or removal of public or private property in connection with initiation
or admission into, or continued membership in, any group affiliated with the university,
including but not limited to, any student, campus, fraternal, academic, honorary,
athletic, or military organization. It is not a defense to the violation of this section
that the hazing participant provided explicit or implied consent. Apathy or acquiescence
in the presence of hazing are not neutral acts; they are violations."
- Your student will sign that he/she understands this policy when they sign their membership
acceptance card (bid card) with the chapter that they join.
- Hazing may be reported to the Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life, the Office
of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity, Kennesaw State Police Department, and/or
