Please read and understand our Hazing Information page before signing this pledge!

I pledge to prevent hazing before it occurs, stop hazing when I see it happening, report it when it has transpired, and help empower others to do the same in their organizations, schools, and communities.

I join others to:

1) Recognize the harm that hazing can cause both physically and psychologically

2) Condemn the act of hazing on all levels

3) Admonish those who haze and those who enable hazing through their silence

4) Be an advocate for the prevention of hazing

I so solemnly pledge myself.

I lost a friend to hazing at another school. No one should ever have to go through that. End this culture immediately.
