Greek Life and Hazing

Inside Higher Ed reports on college women experiencing hazing. Recent hazing allegations of waterboarding at Norwich University involved a 22-year-old women’s rugby team member found intoxicated, “branded with pliers and a lighter,” and covered in urine. “Our research at the Piazza Center suggests that women are more likely to engage in hazing for conformity and for identity, and men are more likely to participate in hazing to prove masculinity. But the overall theme is that they want group affiliation and a sense of belonging,” said Pietro Sasso, professor of educational leadership at Stephen F. Austin State University and faculty research fellow at the Piazza Center at Pennsylvania State University.
