Hazing Definition

[Kevin]

The title is interesting "not just fun and games". Duh.

The definition I've seen posted by many fraternities is:

"...any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off fraternity premises, to cause mental or physical discomfort, embarassment, harassment, ridicule and sleep deprivation, or forced drug and alcohol consumption. Such activities may include but are not limited to the following: paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical and psychological shocks; quests, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips or any other such activities carried on outside or inside the confines of the chapter house; the wearing of public apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; late night or early morning work sessinos which interfere with scholastic activities; and any other activities which are not consistant with fraternal law, ritual or policy or the regulations and policies of the educational institution."

Covers a lot of ground.
