Hazing is defined as making a potential member of a group do humiliating or dangerous tasks in order to be initiated into the group or organization. A study showed that the most groups that had hazing were fraternities, sororities, peer groups, and gangs. The study also showed that students who joined a frat, or sorority were hazed 76% of the time, and student athletes were hazed 79% of hazing. Two ways in which hazing can be prevented is by administrations enforcing a no hazing policy on campus. The second way in which hazing can be ended is by encouraging groups to do more safe activities to prevent actives.

I believe that hazing is a lot less prevalent now then it was several years ago because certain measures have been taken to prevent it. When people started speaking up about being hazed is when the hazing issue was taken care of and eliminated. I think that hazing shouldn’t be aloud, but if it does happen to you speak up and say no. The person that allows themselves to be hazed is just as responsible as the person doing the hazing. Everyone has a personal responsibility to stand up for what they think is right and wrong. I personally could promote a campus free of hazing by speaking out against, and getting administrates to have harsher policies against those groups or people that do haze.
