The Council of Presidents is comprised of the titular heads of the nine (9) traditionally Black Greek-

Lettered Organizations that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). They collectively

represent 1.4 million college-trained individuals throughout the United States and abroad.

Council Of Presidents ΑΦΑ * ΑΚΑ * ΚΑΨ * ΩΨΦ * ∆ΣΘ * ΦΒΣ * ΖΦΒ * ΣΓΡ * ΙΦΘ

Joint Position Statement against Hazing Preface

The organizations of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC) are committed to nurturing

the ideals of sisterhood and fraternalism in an atmosphere of responsibility and respect. We are

also committed to upholding the dignity and self-respect of all persons seeking membership

therein. Hazing is antithetical to this commitment and is prohibited by the rules of each NPHC

organization. In 1990, the member organizations of the NPHC jointly agreed to disband pledging

as a form of admission. At the dawn of a new millennium, we the members of the National Pan-

Hellenic Council do hereby reaffirm our unequivocal opposition to hazing and those who seek to

perpetuate it.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC) is comprised of local councils

drawn from the ranks of 1.5 million college and professional members of the nine historically

African-American fraternities and sororities, namely; Alpha Phi Alpha

Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Omega Psi

Phi Fraternity, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Zeta Phi

Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., and the

Council of Presidents of these member organizations who come together on issues that promote

the common purposes and general good for which these organizations exist; and

WHEREAS these NPHC organizations, operating through chapter located in the United

States, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, and Asia, are proud of their commitment since 1906 to

scholarship, community service, leadership and the promotion of sisterhood and brotherhood in

an atmosphere of respect and responsibility; and

WHEREAS these NPHC organizations are likewise committed to promoting the self-respect

and dignity of all persons seeking membership in the respective organizations; and

WHEREAS hazing is antithetical to this commitment and is strictly prohibited by the

constitution, policies and procedures of each NPHC organization; and

WHEREAS “pledging” has been officially abolished as a process for membership and pledge

“lines” have similarly been abolished; and all members and prospective members are prohibited

from engaging in hazing, pledge or pre-pledge “lines”; and

Page 16: EWC Greek Letter Organization Registration Application Package

The Office of Student Activities

16

WHEREAS in 1990, the NPHC organizations issued a joint statement announcing the

elimination of pledging and each has instituted within its respective organization, a revised

membership development and intake process; and

WHEREAS each NPHC organization has instituted strong policies against hazing and has taken

steps to reinforce and strengthen its stand against prohibited conduct: and

WHEREAS as we begin this new century and a renewed commitment to the fundamental

principles of brotherhood, sisterhood, human dignity and mutual respect, the NPHC

organizations desire to make their commitment against hazing abundantly clear and fully intend

for every member, prospective member, parent, university and the general public to be aware of

the individual and collective position of the organizations against hazing; and

WHEREAS these NPHC organizations further desire to make known their respective

commitment to hold any person who engages in hazing individually and personally liable to the

victim and to answer to the law and the organization; and will hold such persons to respond in

monetary damages, civil and criminal penalties and severe disciplinary actions by the

organization, including expulsion; and

WHEREAS the definition of hazing has been held to include any action taken or situation

created that involves or results in abusive, physical contact or mutual harassment of a

prospective Fraternity or Sorority member; and that any such action is considered hazing,

whether it occurs on or off the Fraternity or Sorority premises, campus or place where

chapters or prospective members meet: and that hazing has also been described to include any

action that results in excessive mutual or physical discomfort, embarrassment or harassment;

that such activities include, but are not limited to paddling, creation of excessive fatigue,

physical or psychological shock, morally degrading or humiliating activities, late work

sessions that interfere with scholastic activities and any other activities inconsistent with

fraternal law and regulations and policies of the affiliated educational institution and federal,

state or local law; and

WHEREAS such illegal conduct is inimical to the principles for which each organization stands

and fails to foster respect for fellow members or preserve human dignity;

BE IT RESOLVED AND RESTATED WITH EMPHASIS ANEW that hazing, pledging,

pledge “lines”, pre-pledge “lines” or post-intake hazing are strictly prohibited by these NPHC

organizations; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, RESTATED AND MADE KNOWN that these

NPHC organizations are committed to eradicate the scourge of hazing and to that end

That the intake process has been recodified by each organization, which permits the conduct of

intake only when specifically authorized by the officer placed in charge of the process and at

only such times, places and in the presence of persons specifically authorized and certified to

conduct the intake process;

Page 17: EWC Greek Letter Organization Registration Application Package

The Office of Student Activities

17

That prospective members and the parents of collegiate applicants are advised that hazing is not

a requirement for membership, nor is it tolerated;

That members and prospective members must attest that they are fully aware of the

organization’s policy against hazing and will not engage in prohibited conduct and that the

organization will fully cooperate with law enforcement authorizes and with university officials in

the investigation and prosecution of hazing or other illegal activity;

That members and applicants for membership are also put on written notice that they will be held

responsible to the organization for violation of policies against hazing and the organization will

pursue full remedies allowed by the law to obtain indemnification for damages caused by the

actions of the members or applicants who participated in illegal, unauthorized or prohibited

conduct despite notice to refrain from such conduct;

That each organization shall enforce sever penalties, including expulsion, for proven violations

of its policies against and impose sanctions against a chapter involved and cooperate with the

university in implementing sanctions by the university;

That members and applicants for membership shall be required to immediately notify the

national office of the Fraternity or Sorority, the local chapter advisor, university officials and law

enforcement officials of any observed hazing incident or improper activity believed to be in

violation of the policy against hazing, without fear of reprisal and their application for

membership will not be affected by so doing; and, indeed, failure to report known violations may

disqualify a candidate for membership; and, finally,

That these NPHC organizations shall continue to encourage their members to participate in

activities which promote high scholastic achievement, sisterhood, brotherhood, loyalty and

leadership; and shall continue to affirm sound values and the worth of every member working

together to accomplish organizational goals and serve the community.

Advisors, each organization member must read and sign the policy

procedures guidelines on Substance Abuse and Hazing.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

The NPHC is concerned about the governing problem of substance abuse through the consumption of alcohol and the use of drugs, especially on college campuses. This is due to

the alarming number of disastrous incidents in which alcohol and drugs play a part and the adverse health conditions caused by and relating to substance abuse.

The NPHC position is that the sale or consumption of alcohol or drugs at any NPHC council

sponsored event on campus or at any student’s residence or other facility is strictly prohibited.

NPHC strongly suggests that every undergraduate council offer educational programs specifically addressing the problems of and solutions to substance abuse on or around the

local campus.

Florida Hazing Law (1) As used in this section, "hazing" means any action or situation that recklessly or

intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for purposes

including, but not limited to, initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization

operating under the sanction of a postsecondary institution. "hazing" includes, but is not

limited to, pressuring or coercing the student into violating state or federal law, any brutality

of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, branding, exposure to the elements, forced

consumption of any food, liquor, drug, or other substance, or other forced physical activity

that could adversely affect the physical health or safety of the student, and also includes any

activity that would subject the student to extreme mental stress, such as sleep deprivation,

forced exclusion from social contact, forced conduct that could result in extreme

embarrassment, or other forced activity that could adversely affect the mental health or

dignity of the student. Hazing does not include customary athletic events or other similar

contests or competitions or any activity or conduct that furthers a legal and legitimate

objective. (2) A person commits hazing, a third degree felony, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s.

775.083, when he or she intentionally or recklessly commits any act of hazing as defined in

subsection (1) upon another person who is a member of or an applicant to any type of student

organization and the hazing results in serious bodily injury or death of such other person.

(3) A person commits hazing, a first degree misdemeanor, punishable as provided in s.

775.082 or s. 775.083, when he or she intentionally or recklessly commits any act of hazing as

defined in subsection (1) upon another person who is a member of or an applicant to any type

of student organization and the hazing creates a substantial risk of physical injury or death to

Page 19: EWC Greek Letter Organization Registration Application Package

The Office of Student Activities

19

such other person. (4) As a condition of any sentence imposed pursuant to subsection (2) or subsection (3), the

court shall order the defendant to attend and complete a 4-hour hazing education course and

may also impose a condition of drug or alcohol probation. (5) It is not a defense to a charge of hazing that:

(a) The consent of the victim had been obtained;

(b) The conduct or activity that resulted in the death or injury of a person was not part of an

official organizational event or was not otherwise sanctioned or approved by the organization;

or

(c) The conduct or activity that resulted in death or injury of the person was not done as a

condition of membership to an organization.

(6) This section shall not be construed to preclude prosecution for a more general offense

resulting from the same criminal transaction or episode. (7) Public and nonpublic postsecondary educational institutions whose students receive state

student financial assistance must adopt a written anti-hazing policy and under such policy

must adopt rules prohibiting students or other persons associated with any student

organization from engaging in hazing.

(8) Public and nonpublic postsecondary educational institutions must provide a program for

the enforcement of such rules and must adopt appropriate penalties for violations of such

rules, to be administered by the person at the institution responsible for the sanctioning of

such organizations.

(a) Such penalties at community colleges and state universities may include the imposition of

fines; the withholding of diplomas or transcripts pending compliance with the rules or

pending payment of fines; and the imposition of probation, suspension, or dismissal. (b) In the case of an organization at a community college or state university that authorizes

hazing in blatant disregard of such rules, penalties may also include rescission of permission

for that organization to operate on campus property or to otherwise operate under the

sanction of the institution.

(c) All penalties imposed under the authority of this subsection shall be in addition to any

penalty imposed for violation of any of the criminal laws of this state or for violation of any

other rule of the institution to which the violator may be subject.

(9) Rules adopted pursuant hereto shall apply to acts conducted on or off campus whenever

such acts are deemed to constitute hazing.

(10) Upon approval of the anti-hazing policy of a community college or state university and of

Page 20: EWC Greek Letter Organization Registration Application Package

The Office of Student Activities

20

the rules and penalties adopted pursuant thereto, the institution shall provide a copy of such

policy, rules, and penalties to each student enrolled in that institution and shall require the

inclusion of such policy, rules, and penalties in the bylaws of every organization operating

under the sanction of the institution.

Any activity as described above, upon which the initiation or admission into or affiliation with an

Edward Waters College organization is directly or indirectly conditioned, shall be presumed to be

a “forced” activity, the willingness of an individual to participate in such activity not

withstanding. This definition applies to acts conducted on or off campus whenever such acts are

deemed to constitute hazing.

By printing and signing your name below, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and

will adhere to both the NPHC Council of Presidents Joint Position Statements against hazing

and the Florida Hazing Law.
