Under Ohio law, legal action may be taken against any participant in hazing or against anyone at the College who knew or who reasonably should have known of the hazing and did not make an attempt to prevent it. Hazing is also a violation of the College's Code of Social Responsibility, and the College will consider hazing to be any portion of a new member education process, whether on campus or off, which could cause discomfort, pain, fright, disgrace, injury or which is personally degrading regardless of the intent or end result. B. Assumptions 1. New member activities may take place between Friday, January 15, and Saturday, January 31, 1999. All activities must comply with the date, time and event specifications outlined in the guidelines for new member activities issued by the Committee on Social Organizations.
Any organized activity involving new members and actives is considered a new member activity.
All new member activities must be held within properly reserved space. The activity must not interfere with the rights and activities of others and should always reflect the best interests of the members of the organization it represents and the College community as a whole. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring organization to reserve rooms and outdoor space through the scheduling office in Lowry Center. Submitting a new member proposal does not ensure a space. A maximum of two hours may be used to activate new members prior to the education and bonding activities.
