Non-Greek organizations alter initiations

In an effort to combat hazing among non-Greek organizations and athletic teams, the Collis Center for Student Involvement and the Athletics Department implemented new policies at the beginning of Fall term requiring student organizations and athletic teams to submit new member activity proposals before holding events with newly inducted members of their groups, according to Collis Center Associate Director Anna Hall and Deputy Director of Athletics Robert Ceplikas. Under the Collis Center's new policy, student groups must submit a form that includes a description of the activities they have planned, the goals they are trying to achieve and how news of the event will be communicated to new members, Hall said.
