Hazing
2009 - 2010
Hazing is a practice of some organizations that is inevitably damaging to
individuals and the campus community. National agencies condemn hazing, as
do all responsible persons. Monmouth College will act against any
individual or campus organization guilty of hazing.
While the College has
adopted the definition of hazing established by the Fraternity
Executives Association to identify hazing activities, it should be noted
that this definition applies to behavior exhibited by all
Monmouth
College organizations, sports teams, groups and individuals not just
Greek organizations. This definition is not intended to be exhaustive.
Hazing is any action taken or situation created intentionally, whether on
or off premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities and situations
include paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical and
psychological shocks; quests, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips,
or any other such activities carried on outside the confines of the house;
wearing of apparel in public that is conspicuous and not normally in good
taste; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or
humiliating games and activities; late work sessions which interfere with
scholastic activities; and any other activities which are not consistent
with fraternal law, ritual, or policy or the regulations and policies of
the educational institution.
