What Is It?
Use this form to report suspected hazing or hazing‑related behavior involving any team, club, group, or student organization.
Hazing includes any activity expected of someone joining or maintaining membership in a group that:
- Causes or has the potential to cause physical, emotional, or psychological harm,
- Involves humiliation, degradation, or excessive risk,
- Is required or implied as a condition of membership, participation, or continued involvement - even if someone “agrees” to participate.
Examples may include (but are not limited to):
- Forced or coerced consumption of alcohol, food, or other substances
- Sleep deprivation or extreme physical activity
- Threats, intimidation, or social isolation
- Forced servitude or errands
- Activities that cause humiliation, embarrassment, or emotional distress
If you are not sure whether a situation is hazing, you should still report your concern; staff can help determine how it fits the college’s policy.
This form is not a substitute for emergency response.
If you believe someone is in immediate danger or is being forced to participate in dangerous activities, call Campus Safety at 610-409-3333 or 911 first, then complete this form if appropriate.
After you submit this form:
- Campus Safety and Student Affairs staff (and Athletics, when appropriate) will review the information.
- They may reach out to you for more details, conduct an investigation, and take steps to stop hazing and support affected students.
- Information may be used in conduct processes and to fulfill any state or federal hazing‑reporting requirements, including transparency reports where applicable.
You may report anonymously. Providing your name and contact information allows us to follow up with you and provide support/resources.
