Suicide and Hazing Prevention
While many students associate hazing with college fraternities or athletics, hazing takes place across the entire campus. One significant study found that 55% of college students involved in clubs, teams, and organizations have experienced hazing.
Unfortunately, a wide range of hazing behaviors - from intimidating to harassing to violent - often makes it difficult for campus members to recognize. Complicating matters is the fact that many students view hazing as 'no big deal' or 'good-natured fun'. These attitudes and beliefs can create a systemic, self-perpetuating problem.
Vector Solutions’ new hazing awareness and prevention courses for students, faculty, and staff gives campus stakeholders a better understanding of hazing so that they can recognize, address, and prevent these behaviors at their institutions or organizations.

This webinar has been designed to be both a resource and general guide for colleges and universities to gauge the level of possible hazing incidents on their campus, mechanisms to implement prevention strategies, and how to use a comprehensive public health approach to hazing prevention.

Strategies for Reducing Alcohol Risks Among Fraternity and Sorority Members

Because you cannot succeed alone, sharing your vision can help you engage others in achieving the outcomes you hope for.
