No Augusta University organization may participate in hazing.
Hazing is any activity undertaken by a group or organization, or a member of that group or organization, in which members or prospective members are subjected to activities which harass, intimidate, physically exhaust, impart pain, cause undue metal fatigue or mental distress, or which cause mutilation or alteration of the body or parts of the body. Such activities include, but are not limited to:
Registered organizations and groups shall be permitted certain initiation ceremonies and activities, which when examined by the ordinary University student, would seem reasonable under the circumstances and justified in view of the purpose for which they are conducted. It shall not constitute as a defense to the charge of hazing that the participants took part voluntarily, that they voluntarily assumed the risks or hardship of the activity, or that no injury in fact was suffered.
Students who are considering joining a fraternity or sorority should be aware that the following organizations have been suspended by the university for violations of the Student Code of Conduct and are not permitted to recruit new members.
At this time no organizations are currently in a suspension status.
Organizations under suspension are not permitted to hold any organized activities, recruit new members or participate in official university activities as an organization. These organizations must petition Augusta University for re-recognition once their suspensions have expired in order to return as a recognized student organization.
