Hazing

sororities are called rushing and hazing. Rushing is the act of popularizing a given fraternity or sorority to attract new members.

Hazing is something in today’s society that is seen as a terrible way to treat another person. When presented in a different light, hazing might not be as bad as it seems. A recent study shows that, “1.5 million high school students are hazed each year; 47% of students came to college already having experienced hazing” (“Center”).

Unfortunately, hazing related deaths are an increasing epidemic in American Colleges that shatter that belief for some parents. Research finds that college students are emotionally and physically injured every year due to hazing events. Hazing has also been linked to multiple deaths.

Hazing takes place when an individual is humiliated, tortured, or abused in order for the person to become a member. Most of the victims of hazing do not refer to themselves as being hazed, but as themselves being welcomed into the group by showing their loyalty. One out of four of the organization’s advisors or coaches know about hazing activities, but are nowhere to be found when hazing happens (“Allegations of,” 2015). The events are believed

College hazing has been going on for years. It started in 1495 in a college in Germany. But today, 1.5 million high school students are hazed each year; 47% of students came to college already having experienced hazing. Alcohol consumption, humiliation, isolation, sleep-deprivation, and sexual acts are hazing practices common across all types of student groups (Hirschlag). Everybody knows hazing exist, but nobody seems to talk about it. Sometimes the victims suffer humiliation, debasement and harassment

Since the 1970’s, almost every college campus in the United States has had a hazing-related death every year.

A recent study at the University of Dayton shows that, “1.5 million high school students are hazed each year; 47% of students came to college already having experienced hazing” (“Center”). With these statistics, there is no wonder people have a view on this situation. Hazing is certainly a problem in modern America, but despite the issues with

Hazing in universities across the nation has become an increasingly dangerous ritual that is seemingly becoming more difficult to put an end to due to its development into an “underground” activity. Though a regular activity in the seventies, hazing, a possible dangerous act of initiation to a group, has now become an activity that is banned in thirty-nine states (Wagner 16). However, this ritual has not been stopped or become less severe. In fact it is becoming more dangerous. Since it has been
