Love Them Like Your Sisters

The Panhellenic Community would like to remind its members of the values we all share concerning hazing. 
Love your sisters like your sisters. Don't Haze.

Hazing (B1969, 1977, 1979, 1997)
Hazing is defined as any action or situation with or without consent that recklessly, intentionally or unintentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student, or creates risk of injury, or causes discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule or that willfully destroys or removes public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in, a chapter or colony of an NPC member fraternity. Such activities and situations include, but are not limited to, creation of excessive fatigue; physical and psychological shocks; publicly wearing apparel that is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts and jokes; participating in treasure or scavenger hunts; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; late-night sessions that interfere with scholastic activities or normal sleep patterns; and any other activities that are not consistent with fraternal law, ritual or the regulations and policies of the member fraternity or the educational institution. All member groups will affirm their policies on hazing and inform their membership of this NPC position on hazing through mailings and through their inter/national.
