Delta Upsilon is a proud non-hazing fraternity and hazing of any kind is illegal and strictly prohibited at Miami University. We encourage all of our members to speak up if they ever feel uncomfortable. If they do not want to reach out to a brother or an advisor, Miami University and Delta Upsilon offer multiple ways to report issues. The State of Ohio has recently implemented Collin’s Law which increases penalties, and requires additional educational programming on hazing awareness, prevention, intervention, and the Miami’s policy. Under Collin’s Law and University policy, hazing is defined as doing, requiring, encouraging or coercing another, including the victim, to do: Any act of initiation into any student organization or other University sanctioned organization or athletic team; or any act to continue or reinstate membership in or affiliation with any student organization or other University sanctioned organization or athletic team that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm to any person, including coercing another to consume alcohol or another drug. Failure to intervene, prevent or report any act of hazing may also constitute a violation.
