Hazing
2007-2008
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.
The College has adopted
the definition of hazing established by the Fraternity Executives
Association and applies this definition to individuals and all groups:
Hazing is any action taken or situation created intentionally, whether on
or off (fraternity) 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.
