Hazing can happen in any type of student organization, and many students experience it without realizing certain behaviors qualify as hazing.

The best organizations build members up, not break them down.

This week, take a moment to learn the signs of hazing and speak up when something doesn't feel right. Together, we can foster a safer, stronger, and more inclusive NKU community.
