Hazing
Kappa Alpha Theta seeks to promote an environment that is physically and emotionally safe for all members and does not tolerate any acts that may be constituted as hazing. The Fraternity encourages and facilitates discussion and education related to hazing identification and prevention.
Hazing can be defined as an activity that endangers or is likely to endanger the emotional and/or physical health or safety of a member or new member or which tends to humiliate, embarrass, or cause personal discomfort regardless of one’s willingness to participate in such activity.
In many jurisdictions, hazing is subject to legal consequences, including criminal liability. Hazing, in any form, will not be tolerated. Hazing may result in chapter and member discipline, including termination of membership.
