Stop Hazing

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte believes student organizations play a vital role in enriching the college experience, offering opportunities for leadership, friendship, personal growth, and connection throughout our university community. These organizations contribute meaningfully to campus life and should foster environments where all members feel supported, valued and safe.

Hazing undermines these goals and is strictly prohibited. Hazing can have lasting physical, emotional, and psychological impacts on its victims. Any activity that compromises dignity, safety, or well-being has no place in our community. Our mission is to support students and organizations in building traditions and creating experiences that enhance the academic and social journey of their members—without resorting to practices that harm or exclude.

We all share responsibility to proactively stand against hazing. The University and the campus community share responsibility: to speak out against hazing and to report any concerning behavior. If you witness or experience hazing, we encourage you to speak up and seek help. Together, through accountability and courageous action, we can uphold the best version of our campus and ensure a safe, meaningful experience for all. The university’s stop hazing website outlines information, resources, and reporting options for all members of our Charlotte community.

By working together to promote community, safety, and mutual respect, we can promote a campus culture we can all be proud of.

Whether you’re a student, faculty member, staff, or alumni, it’s our collective duty to create a culture where every individual feels valued, supported, and free from harm.
