EVANSTON, ILL. –
As part of the ongoing attempt to end hazing on
college campuses and particularly within Greek
organizations, more than 20 National Panhellenic
Conference (NPC) and North-American Interfraternity
Conference (IFC) inter/national organizations have
joined together to establish a Greek Anti-hazing
Hotline. The toll-free number is 1.888.NOT.HAZE
(1.888.668.4293). The line is available to those who
think they, or students they know, have been or may
become victims of hazing. Callers may remain
anonymous, or they can provide personal information
so that their concerns can be responded to directly.
The Hotline connects to a dedicated voice mailbox at
the Cincinnati, Ohio, law firm of Manley Burke, the
publisher of Fraternal Law. Manley Burke will
monitor the Hotline daily and forward all messages
to the appropriate fraternal organization along with
the hazing laws from the relevant jurisdictions. For
states in which the law requires notification of
other authorities, this will also be done. Today,
more than 45 states make hazing a crime.
“We hope our new and initiated members, parents and
Greek Life professionals find this to be a helpful
tool to eliminate hazing on our campuses,” said
Associate Director of Collegiate Operations Lindsay
Martin (Beta Psi-San Jose State). “All allegations
will be investigated to the fullest extent.”
If you have any questions about the Hazing Hotline,
please contact Lindsay at lmartin@alphaphi.org or
847.316.8943.
