No organization may participate in the activity of hazing.  Hazing is defined as any activity, undertaken by a group or a member of a group, which subjects members to mutilation or alteration of parts of the body.

Such activities include, but are not limited to, tests of endurance; submission to potentially dangerous or hazardous circumstances; activities which have a foreseeable potential for resulting in personal injury; or activities profound in nature that would have a potential to cause severe mental anxiety, mental distress, panic, human degradation, or public embarrassment.

Registered organizations or groups are allowed certain initiation ceremonies and activities which, when examined by the ordinary University student, seem reasonable and justified for the purpose they are conducted.  The following shall not constitute a defense against a hazing charge:  that participants took part voluntarily, that participants assumed the risks or hardships of the activity, or that no injury was suffered.
