3 Types of Hazing
Subtle Hazing
Behaviors that emphasize a power imbalance between new members and other members of the group or team.
Termed “subtle hazing” because these types of hazing are often taken-for-granted or accepted as “harmless” or
meaningless.
Harassment Hazing
Behaviors that cause emotional anguish or physical discomfort in order to feel like part of the group.
Harassment hazing confuses, frustrates, and causes undue stress for new members.
Violent Hazing
Behaviors that have the potential to cause physical and/or emotional, or psychological harm.
Is it Hazing or Not?
1. Is alcohol involved?
2. Will active/current members of the group refuse to participate with the new members and do exactly what they are being asked to do?
3. Does the activity risk emotional or physical abuse?
4. Is there risk of injury or a question of safety?
5. Do you have any reservation describing the activity to your parents, to a professor or University official?
6. Would you object to the activity being photographed for the school newspaper or filmed by the local TV news crew?
