National Hazing Prevention Week 2014

All hazing statistics are an underestimate of the actual amount of hazings that occur. This is due to the fact that most students do not even recognize hazing when they are involved, and furthermore, there is a strong code of silence that inhibits students from reporting a hazing. Perhaps the most startling statistic is that there are no, as in 0, state or federal agencies that collect statistics on hazing, nor is there a central place (like the CDC) to report hazings.

Not that startling when you consider that there is no agreed-upon definition of what constitutes "hazing." State laws defining hazing vary widely, as do university and GLO policies.
