Reporting hazing is critical for students and employees. If you wish to make an anonymous report, we will evaluate the report and determine what follow-up is necessary to address the concerns. We would encourage you though, to submit your name and contact information to allow us to call or email should we have additional questions regarding the information in the report.

    Hazing Statement:
    All forms of hazing, pledge day, and/or pre-initiation activities that are defined as hazing shall be banned. Hazing is defined as “any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person (whether individually or in
    concert with other persons) against another person or persons regardless of the willingness of
    such other person or persons to participate, that—
    (I) is committed in the course of an initiation into, an affiliation with, or the
    maintenance of membership in a student organization; and
    (II) causes or creates a risk, above the reasonable risk encountered in the course of
    participation in the institution of higher education or the organization (such as the
    physical preparation necessary for participation in an athletic team), of physical or
    psychological injury including—
    (aa) whipping, beating, striking, electronic shocking, placing of a harmful
    substance on someone’s body, or similar activity;
    (bb) causing, coercing, or otherwise inducing sleep deprivation, exposure to the
    elements, confinement in a small space, extreme calisthenics, or other similar
    activity;
    (cc) causing, coercing, or otherwise inducing another person to consume food,
    liquid, alcohol, drugs, or other substances;
    (dd) causing, coercing, or otherwise inducing another person to perform sexual
    acts;
    (ee) any activity that places another person in reasonable fear of bodily harm
    through the use of threatening words or conduct;
    (ff) any activity against another person that includes a criminal violation of local,
    State, Tribal, or Federal law; and
    (gg) any activity that induces, causes, or requires another person to perform a duty
    or task that involves a criminal violation of local, State, Tribal, or Federal law.
    The new law defines student organization as:
    “an organization at an institution of higher education (such as a club, society, association, varsity
    or junior varsity athletic team, club sports team, fraternity, sorority, band, or student
    government) of which two or more the members are students enrolled at the institution of higher
    education, whether or not the organization is established or recognized by the institution.”
    (Note: If the same person or persons commit more than one hazing act close together in time and place,
    the incident should be reported as one incident.)

    Suspected instances of hazing can be reported by any or all of the following methods:
    1) Contacting the Dean of Students at deanofstudents@abac.edu or 229-391-5130
    2) Contacting ABAC Police 229-391-5060
