Hazing is an all-too-familiar ritual on many college campuses, although most universities prohibit its practice. Sam Howell has more in this Bobcat Update.
Every semester students in Greek organizations are lectured on the dangers of hazing, but it's still prevalent at many universities. Hazing is not limited to Greek life.

A few people defend hazing, saying it can help build group camaraderie.

Organizations that allow hazing must realize that they are not only hurting individuals mentally and emotionally, but the practice can also cause serious lifelong injuries or even death. More information on hazing can be found at the Campus Activities and Student Organizations, on the fourth floor of the L-B-J Student Center. For Bobcat Update, I’m Sam Howell.
