Hazing is defined as “any act which endangers, or could reasonably be seen to endanger the mental or physical health or safety of a student, for the purpose of initiation, admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in, a group or organization.”

Hazing does not depend on the individual’s willingness to take part – although incoming members may consent to activities in the hopes of admission, any act of hazing is still a violation of the Policy. All participants must be aware that everyone has different levels of comfort and what is acceptable to one may be damaging to another.

All members or associated individuals will be treated equally in accordance with the morals and ideals of Tau Sigma Phi.
