Does hazing still occur in fraternities?
In keeping with the University of Washington’s commitment to a positive academic environment, UW unconditionally opposes any situation created intentionally to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Not only are acts of hazing against university policy, but it is also against state law. The Interfraternity Council also has a no tolerance policy for hazing and a judicial procedure to deal with any serious hazing allegations. Through educational programming, members are taught to respect each other (for more information or to read the UW and IFC policies regarding hazing, refer to the home page links).
