Hazing
By: Tracy Maxwell We’ve heard it time and time again when a major hazing incident hits the news – the idea that a few bad apples are to blame for the latest tragic death, serious injury or embarrassing incident (usually with photos or video involved). The recent conviction of Matthew Naquin for negligent homicide in […]

Hazing
By: David Stollman A congressional hearing investigated the hazing related death of a promising young man from Eastern Pennsylvania. He was beaten. Hot sauce was forced down his throat. Hot wax was poured on him while he slept. He told his brother back home about the abuse. He would never violate the unwritten code and […]

Fraternity & Sorority Life, Hazing
By: Tracy Maxwell, CAMPUSPEAK Speaker Why we can’t wait for or rely upon hazing being reported This summer, Congressional Representatives Pat Meehan (R-PA) and Marcia Fudge (D-OH) introduced legislation called the Report and Educate About Campus Hazing (or REACH Act) that would require colleges and universities to both educate students about hazing and report hazing […]

By: Lorin Phillips, CAMPUSPEAK Speaker There is nothing scarier to me than an organization where their members feel silenced. The leaders stand in front of the room during a meeting, share decisions made by leaders, tell the group what is happening next, and there is a quiet, emotionless head nod. Then on to the next […]

Hazing, Recruitment
Over the years, I’ve found members are more likely to ask me questions like “is this hazing” or “can we do this with new members”? I understand that often times legal-speak can be wordy and feel complex but is it really that complex to be kind, inclusive, and supportive? No. However, for too many years, […]

Hazing
Shame (SHām/) noun. A painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior. We rarely talk about that of which we are ashamed; dealing with the, painful realities of life is something very few of us can stomach. The practice of hazing is on of those very things. The […]

Community Building, Hazing, Motivation & Inspiration, Uncategorized
It is so easy to look around our world or our communities and find the things that aren’t working. People hurting each other, abusing drugs or alcohol, losing their lives from violence and other causes, moral disengagement, anti-intellectualism, and more are common staples of headlines today. As a culture, we spend a great deal of […]

Bullying, Bystander Intervention, Hazing
by Lorin Phillips Recently, I was taking a walk in the sun with my 7-year-old niece, Ella. Goodbye winter! As we were talking, she mentioned that “gam-ma” had showed her the video of the campus presentations I give across the country. Curious about the mind of a 7-year-old, I asked her if she understood what […]

Fraternity & Sorority Life, Hazing
How is it that these caring, compassionate women can become “mean girls”? Lorin Phillips, speaker with CAMPUSPEAK, admits she is still asking herself this question. It’s the culture where a myriad of hazing activities can be seen as acceptable, a culture where women are seeking out power through obedience. It’s this culture that Lorin is […]
