Annotated bibliography ideas • 1. Those who engage in hazing do so because they believe it increases group cohesiveness. - Campo, S., Poulos, G., & Sipple, J. (2005). American Journal of Health Behavior 29(2), 137-149. • 2. This book contained tips of ways to prevent or decrease hazing. One of the tips was to strengthen the current anti-hazing policies and procedures. -Hughey, M. W. (2011). Black Greek-letter organizations 2.0: New directions in the study of African American fraternities and sororities.
Case study ideas • Taking immediate action, such as informing the media, can help the university have some control over the situation. – Hazing death of Benjamin Klein at Alfred University, February 2002. • Florida A&M University is not the only school that has experienced a hazing-related student death. –Hazing death of George Desdunes at Cornell University, February 2011. • The death of Robert Champion should never be forgotten, it should be memorialized, so that students, faculty and campus guests will always be aware of the dangers of hazing. Clock Tower shooting at the University of Texas in Austin, August 1, 1966
Lessons Learned What We Could Have Changed What Worked Well • We found that a consistent amount of sophomores would engage in our anti-hazing tactics. • We learned that people view hazing differently. • We should have found out what students found useful about the mandatory anti-hazing forum. • We used a mutually exclusive question on our survey.
