The University of North Carolina at Greensboro does not support any forms of hazing. Community members are encouraged utilize the Concerning Behavior Form if they are concerned about potential hazing incidents.
Any action taken or situation created, intentionally or unintentionally, whether on or off University premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule is considered hazing, regardless of the willingness of the participant. Such activities may include but are not limited to the following: use of alcohol; paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical and psychological shocks, road trips or any other such activities conducted on or off campus; wearing of public apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; and any other activities which are not consistent with academic achievement, the five University values (honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility), or the regulations and policies of the University or applicable state law.
