Split into randomly paired groups. Each is given a list of scenarios and must discuss "Is it hazing or isn't it?"
Then go over the list with the entire chapter and get their feedback.
Show the video "Friendly Fire"-- your Director of Greek Life should have this.
Discuss how hazing hurts. Discuss why some feel hazing helps-- and how you can turn those behaviors you wish to develop from those taboo activities into behaviors and loyalty you can develop from sisterhood activities that fall within the letters of the law.
Review the university honor code, local, state and federal hazing law, as well as your sorority's policy on hazing. What are the penalties?
Make a button in the shape of the universal no (A Circle with a line drawn through it) and the word "hazing" inside. Encourage the entire membership to wear this button all week to promote tolerance and to discourage hazing practices--- all members should wear it, not just a singled out group of members.
Involve your adviser and Greek Life Director in the planning. they may have great ideas.
