Not Sure if it is Hazing? • Would I feel comfortable participating in this activity if my senior officers were watching? • Am I being asked to keep these activities a secret? • Am I doing anything illegal? • Does participation violate my values or those of my organization? • Is it causing emotional distress or stress of any kind to myself or others?
