What are Initiation Rites? How Do We Stop Hazing. How Would Students Prevent Hazing? Over a quarter referred to hazing as an integral part of tradition and culture and therefore extremely difficult to prevent. Students said it would take a "breakdown of tradition" to stop it.
One student said there is "no way to prevent hazing without drastically changing our culture. If it involves a fraternity or sorority chapter please provide the name of the national organization.

Burke Sean P. Callan John E. If not recognized, reported, and properly addressed, hazing can become a systemic, self-perpetuating problem. The environments where hazing most often occurs — student clubs, organizations, and teams — are living-learning laboratories for leadership development. If hazing is happening in these groups, our leaders-in-training may be learning that humiliating, harassing, or violent behavior is an accepted or expected way to induct new members and build cohesion.
Like bullying, the problem of hazing has existed for many decades, yet research about the nature and extent of hazing and its prevention is in nascent stages of development. With more than three decades of experience, StopHazing is a trailblazer in research-to-practice initiatives that are building the knowledge base needed to promote inclusive school, campus, and organizational climates where healthy leadership, well-being, and belonging are cultivated and sustained.
It has ideas on how to foster trust, relationships, and establish commitment, he said. Some of the 60 suggestions include doing service learning activities and team-building exercises. At the same time, hazing remains as difficult to pin down as it is commonplace on campuses.
Allan and Madden found that 90 percent of students who actually had been hazed, based on answers to specific questions, did not consider themselves to have fallen victim to the practice. That so few students recognize that it has happened -- even to them -- is evidence of a greater lack of recognition of the powerful group dynamics and coercion that take place on campus among people desperate for a sense of belonging, said Madden. Critics propose another explanation: the apparent prevalence reflects an overbroad definition.
While there are no known examples of anyone arrested for, say, forcing someone else to clean the floor with a toothbrush, Shibley argued that identifying as hazing such acts and potentially criminalizing them are ultimately counterproductive to attempts to diminish hazing. It is a criticism that Hank Nuwer, an associate professor of journalism at Franklin College, acknowledged.
Nuwer, who has written four books and maintains a blog on the subject, also argues that the problem cries out to be addressed. Hazing has directly or indirectly claimed the life of an average of one college student per year, he said.
While he recalls how his own work against once was met with resistance because the practice was seen as healthy, or at least a necessary rite of passage, he sees signs of progress. For example, when he first started researching hazing 30 years ago, he had trouble finding research on the subject.
