University of Maine Hazing Prevention
Why do we need hazing prevention?
Being part of a campus group or organization is an important part
of the student experience at the University of Maine. Hazing can be
a hidden problem associated with these groups. We feel it is
important to provide education and prevention programs that address
the harmful effects hazing can have on our students.
Who should be concerned about hazing?
Everyone! Hazing is a problem that affects all members of the
campus community including students, staff, faculty, alumni, parents
and guests of the University.
What is Hazing?
“Hazing” refers to any activity expected of someone joining a
group (or to maintain full status in a group) that humiliates,
degrades or risks emotional and/or physical harm, regardless of the
person's willingness to participate.

Hazing is against the law in Maine and against University of
Policy.
If you suspect a group is hazing or are a victim of hazing, take
action
