Introduction

This report presents the initial Findings from the National Study of Student Hazing: Examining and Transforming Campus Hazing Cultures.

• 11,000+ survey responses
• 53 college campuses nationwide
• 300+ personal interviews

The study is based on survey responses from 11,482 post-secondary students on 53 campuses across the United States and more than 300 interviews with staff and students from 18 of those campuses.  It is the most comprehensive examination of student hazing to date.  We thank the campuses that agreed to participate in this landmark study, and are grateful for the support of more than 30 professional associations and organizations, as well as numerous individuals who gave time and resources to support and guide the study (Appendices B & C).  The Findings provided in this report and subsequent analyses can be accessed through www.hazingstudy.org.
