Cross-pledging, burning sands, pledge lines, crossing over, paper vs. made, running the gauntlet – how familiar are you with these terms? While more than 80% of hazing incidents involve alcohol, a bigger percentage of hazing incidents in culturally based fraternal organizations (CBFOs) do not. How do gender dynamics fit into this mix? What else might you be missing in your hazing prevention strategies?
Join Attorney Rasheed Ali Cromwell, President of the Harbor Institute, as he discusses how all hazing is not the same, and effective and impactful hazing prevention efforts must also address solutions from a culturally competent lens. Rasheed blends his legal background and cultural expertise to breakdown complex difficult issues in a relatable way.
Hosted in partnership with Hazing Prevention Network
Real Talk. Real Solutions. This dynamic educational experience utilizes a cultural, operational, and legal framework specially designed to empower students with a comprehensive understanding of risks associated with hazing. Students gain tools to enable them to change their communities.
