Protect the Plains
Hazing has no place at Auburn University. It is prohibited under state law and university policy. Student Affairs is committed to providing a safe educational environment for everyone and does not tolerate hazing by any group or individual affiliated with the university. We all have a responsibility to help stop hazing by being informed and committing to hazing prevention.
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.
