Hazing is an inappropriate form of behavior and will not be tolerated. It is prohibited by the student code of conduct and is defined as any method of initiation into a student organization that is likely to cause danger or harm - physical, mental, or emotional. If you know of any such incidents, please notify the club advisor, the Manager of OSL, your instructor, or any of the staff in Student Services. Any club or organization whose members participate in hazing could lose organization recognition and funding, and be subject to the student code of conduct.
