I have done two out of the three. These steps are easy. The possibility of suffering lasting bodily injury because of some psycho who thinks that is the measure of manhood is my only issue of concern.

I'm sure you know that there is nothing that any of us can say about what will or won't happen exactly since we are not where you are. You and the chapter are the only ones that have a say in this matter. I'm sure you also know that the NPHC does not condone hazing or pledging (which is seen as one in the same currently) so the one who's being pledged is just as wrong as the members who are involved in the pledge process. The only thing you can do is to express your concerns once you have made some of these men your friends and face the challenges as they come. If there is really something happening or about to happen that you don't agree with, ask to speak with the members about it. They might just respect your standards and if they don't, you'll have to make a decision but you always have a choice to stay or leave. That's the power that everyone has but sometimes people want to act like they don't have any. If something is really against what you believe in, then don't go through with it and the choice should be simple. Also remember that there is always grad chapter and one chapter doesn't necessarily embody the ideas and philosophy of an entire organization. Good Luck!

Hazing is illegal and your organization's founders and its current leadership do not want its members to break the law.

If an issue of hazing comes up, leave the situation and notify your collegiate adviser.


Hazing is a felony in many states. It is against the honor code at pretty much every university in America. Many honor codes will expel you from school for hazing.

Victims of hazing who did nothing to prevent the acts from occurring are also held responsible for not reporting it/going along with it.

Do not allow yourself to be hazed. There are better and more constructive ways to build a brotherhood than to belittle or batter its members.
