Is hazing a part of the fraternity and sorority culture at Penn State?
Penn state has a zero-tolerance policy regarding hazing that is consistent with State law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Hazing includes any activity that subjects members to harassment, ridicule, intimidation, physical exhaustion, abuse, or mental distress. Hazing is contrary to the purposes of the fraternity and sorority community and the University; therefore, it is not tolerated. If you sense your student may be participating in inappropriate activities as a result of membership in a fraternity or sorority, you should contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life immediately. All calls will be handled in a discreet manner. Or you can now confidentially report the hazing incident online.
