Hazing in Greek letter organizations is defined as any act or set of acts that constitutes hazing and occurs in connection to a fraternity or sorority. Hazing is often cited as one of the most harmful aspects of fraternities and sororities and poses a major threat to their existence, drawing great criticism from educators and administrators . As fraternities and sororities are very diverse in their structures, regulations, governing entities, and memberships, and as hazing can take on many forms, the issue of hazing within these organizations is complex and multifaceted. ==Definitions== While most educational institutions include hazing in their disciplinary procedures, definitions of hazing can vary substantially . The Fraternal Information & Programming Group (FIPG) defines hazing activities as:
Hazing is a crime in 44 states.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = StopHazing.org: Educating to Eliminate Hazing )〕 For example, the Arizona Revised Statutes provides the following definition:〔(15-2301 - Hazing prevention policies; definitions )〕
Most educational institutions have their own definitions of hazing, and many are required to by state statutes. Generally, institutions of higher education will have their own definitions of hazing, though they may closely mirror definitions found in their respective state statutes. For example, the University of Arizona provides the following definition of hazing in its “University of Arizona Hazing Policy”, revised October 25, 2001:
Note that the University of Arizona’s definition of hazing is virtually identical to the definition outlined in the Arizona Revised Statutes. The current NIC definition of hazing also includes anything that could turn into hazing. This is the reason that many potentially innocent activities, such as a scavenger hunt, are included under hazing; they could start out as perfectly legal events, but could easily be modified to include some activity that could make it hazing (ex. stealing some of the items on the list or adding heavy drinking before or during). Requiring candidates, or even members as there is "brother on brother hazing", to attend events or be at a certain place at a certain time is also hazing. Many also consider the use of the term 'pledge' to be hazing. It should also be noted that things like physical activity will be condoned if there are fraters that are in the US Army or other armed forces present, whereas if those members weren't there it would be considered hazing.(Godwin, 2012) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hazing in Greek letter organizations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
