Report Hazing

Hazing is more common than many realize, and its consequences can be devastating:

  • 55% of college students involved in sports, clubs, or organizations have experienced hazing.
  • Since 2000, at least 105 college students have died due to hazing-related incidents.
  • 95% of students who were hazed did not report it, often due to fear or social pressure.
  • 82% of hazing deaths involve alcohol consumption.
  • Hazing occurs across various student groups–not just fraternities and sororities–but also in athletic teams, pre-professional organizations, and other clubs.
