Since Sigma Nu's inception back in 1869, we have and will continue to take a strong stance against hazing. Our Anti-Hazing initiatives are designed to bring awareness and resources to chapters to help combat the dangerous practice of hazing.
Sigma Nu Fraternity defines hazing as:
"...any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off Fraternity premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule. Such activities may include but are not limited to the following: paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical and psychological shocks; quest, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips or any other such activities carried on outside or inside the confines of the chapter house; the wearing of public apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; late work sessions which interfere with scholastic activities; and any other activities which are not consistent with fraternal law or policy or the regulations and policies of the educational institution."
If you believe that you have been hazed, or if you know somebody who may have been hazed, please call our toll-free Anti-Hazing Hotline at (800) 993-1869 or send an e-mail to anti-hazing@sigmanu.org. You do not have to give your name.
If you wish to contact an alumni advisor to the Theta Kappa Chapter, please call 404-913-1411 or 912-682-2082. You can also send a message or email to our Alumni Advisory Board team by clicking here and several alumni members will be notified. All communications will be held in the strictist confidence.
Anti-Hazing Workshop:
Do you want to lead the fight against hazing on your campus? How about increasing awareness about the perils of hazing? Are you looking for a way to participate in National Hazing Prevention Week? Sigma Nu's "A Different Look at Hazing" workshop is intended to be presented to members of any campus organization, not just Greek-letter groups. It is recommended that all campus student organizations including, but not limited to athletic teams, student government association, professional associations, and other Fraternities and Sororities. Ideally, the workshop should be facilitated as part of the chapter's National Hazing Prevention Week participation but the message is relevant at any point during the year.
