Anti-Hazing Policy

 

 

Phi Beta Sigma does not condone hazing or pledging of any kind. Our Fraternity and it’s Members strongly believe that no one seeking membership in our Noble Order shall indulge in any physical abuse or undignified treatment (hazing). Hazing is defined as: any action taken or situation created intentionally or unintentionally, whether on or off Fraternity premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities and situations include, but are not limited to:

• paddling in any form

• creation of excessive fatigue

• physical and psychological shocks

• quests

• treasure hunts

• scavenger hunts

• road trips or any other activities carried outside the confines of the campus or chapter house

• wearing publicly apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste

• engaging in any public stunts and buffoonery

• morally degrading or humiliating games and activities

• late work sessions (past midnight) which interfere with work or scholastic activity

• any other activities which are not consistent with Fraternal Law, Ritual, or Policy or with Regulations and Policies of the educational institution

•  

Hazing is forbidden by the Fraternity’s Constitution and by public laws and Federal laws
