(Allan, Madden)

This source is a figure representing where on college campuses hazing takes place the most

often. It has a variety of ten separate campus organizations showing the percent of students in

each activity that have experienced at least one hazing behavior. This image will be used to

enforce the point that hazing doesnt only happen in Greek life, but in other organizations that

might not even be expected, like the Honor Society. This image is important and will most

certainly be used. The image comes from a Scholarly Journal published by two highly accredited

doctors.

(Allan, Madden)

This published journal is a series of documented research based on the analysis of 11,482 survey

responses and over 300 interviews with students and campus personnel from 53 separate

institutions. The authors have documented problems related to student hazing including physical

and psychological harm and even death. This entire journal is full of charts, graphs, infographics,

and interviews that will play multiple part in our project. This source is extremely credible,

coming from two accredited doctors.

Hazing and Its Consequences. (n.d.). Retrieved April 05, 2017, from

http://hazingprevention.org/home/hazing/hazing-and-its-consequences/

(Hazing and Its Consequences)

This source recounts the consequences and impacts that hazing has on those who haze, those

who have been hazed, and the organization that the hazing was taking place in. I am planning on

using this source because it has many examples of the different types of impacts including

declining grades, losses of regulation, PTSD, etc. This source seems fairly credible due to the

fact that it is on one of the two main hazing prevention websites.

Janssen, J. (n.d.). Six Steps You Must Take to Prevent Hazing at Your School. Retrieved April

(Janssen)

Jeff Janssen from Janssen Sports Leadership Center reviews six steps to help student athletes and

their coaches prevent hazing on their teams and at their school. The steps revolve around

building a strong leadership system, creating a positive environment, and installing buddy

systems. While these steps do seem to show a good solution, depending on the flow of our

presentation we may not use this source.

The story behind this article is interesting, because it reads UNR freshman in ICU after fall at

Sigma Nu fraternity house, along with investigations around the incident. Many have said that

this is a cover up for hazing, while others just say he simply fell. Apparently when any harm

comes to any student inside a fraternity, it becomes an investigation. This source is pretty

questionable. It comes from an online news journal, but that can always receive false

information. This source will likely not be used.

North Carolina Hazing Laws. (n.d.). Retrieved April 05, 2017, from

http://www.stophazing.org/north-carolina/

(NC Hazing Laws)

Simply put, this lists two hazing laws put in place for North Carolina, specifically. The first of

the two is Hazing; definition and punishment, and the second, Witnesses to hazing trials; no

indictment to be founded on self-criminating testimony. The source is credible since they are

actual laws for North Carolina. If using this source, it would only be brief to explain the legal

stance of hazing for North Carolina.

Nuwer, H. (1999). Wrongs of passage: Fraternities, sororities, hazing, and binge drinking.

Bloomington: Indiana University Press.

(Nuwer)

This book explores the problems of hazing and binge drinking in sororities and fraternities on

specifically college campuses in America. Included in this book are stories from some of the

students who have been seriously injured, or died, as a result of hazing. And as a result, the

author has included a list of recommendations for reformation for the universities. I believe that

personal stories have the biggest impact when it comes to topics like this, so this is a top choice

to use for our presentation.

Schlank, C. (n.d.). A Fraternity Brother Speaks Out. Retrieved April 05, 2017, from

http://hazingprevention.org/home/hazing/stories/a-fraternity-brother-speaks-out/

(Schlank)

I believe this is one of the most important sources here. This is a letter written by a previous

member of a fraternity speaking out against the hazing he was experiencing. Because he was

making it noticed and kept talking about how he and his brothers were being treated

inhumanely, he was called a cancer to the organization by his elder brothers who had tried to

get him removed from the chapter. This letter was posted on the hazing prevention website,

making it seem like a credible source, but since it is a letter, you never know whether or not the

truth is being shared completely.

Silveira, J. M., & Hudson, M. W. (April 01, 2015). Hazing in the College Marching

Band.Journal of Research in Music Education, 63, 1, 5-27.

(Silveira)

This study was done to research and investigate hazing in marching bands through a series of

surveys. The reason I chose this journal was for the fact that the hazing was taking place in an

organization that one would typically not think of when it comes to hazing. In marching bands,

the most reported form of hazing involved public verbal humiliation, or degradation. Since this is

a peer reviewed journal, the source is credible. I will most likely use this source to reinforce the

notion that hazing isnt just in sororities and fraternities.

Suggs, W. (September 03, 1999). 79% of College Athletes Experience Hazing, Survey

Finds. Chronicle of Higher Education, 46, 2.)

(Suggs)

This journal is pointing out the fact that nearly two-thirds of athletes have admitted to

participating in questionable behavior, and over a quarter of those students have participated in

dangerous and/or criminal behavior. One point made in this journal that I believe is not made

enough is that females are almost just as likely as males are to participate in these actions, and

that only 10% of coaches reported knowing that hazing activities were going on. The only thing

about this article is that people can report anything they want. It is very easy to lie, which makes

it harder to get accurate statistics.
