Acknowledgement of Hazing Policy and Agreement

The University of Miami has an absolute prohibition on hazing. Hazing is defined as an action or situation created on or off campus which recklessly or intentionally harms, damages or endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purposes, including, but not limited to, initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating within the University of Miami. Hazing includes, but is not limited to, pressuring or coercing a student into violating the University rules or local, state or federal law, any brutality of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the elements, forced/encouraged consumption of any food, liquor, drug, or other substance, or other forced/encouraged physical activity that could adversely affect the physical or mental health or safety of the student, and also includes any activity that would subject the student to extreme mental stress, such as sleep deprivation, forced/encouraged exclusion from social contact, forced/encouraged conduct that could result in extreme embarrassment, or forced/encouraged activity that could adversely affect the mental health or dignity of the student, or any other activity which is inconsistent with the regulations and policies of the University of Miami. It is not a defense to a charge of hazing that: a) The consent of the victim had been obtained; b) The conduct of activity that resulted in the death or injury of a person was not part of an official organizational event or was not otherwise sanctioned or approved by the organization; or c) The conduct or activity that resulted in death or injury of the person was not done as a condition of membership to an organization. By checking the box below and entering my name in the text box, I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand this policy and by virtue of the Code of Conduct in the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook if I am ever exposed to any incident which may be in violation of this policy, or are given information that an incident has occurred that may be in violation of this policy, I will contact the Dean of Students Office immediately to report the incident.

Academic Information Release Authorization

By virtue of my intent to join a sorority/fraternity, I agree to have my academic achievement tracked by the Dean of Students Office and to have my semester and cumulative grade point averages released to the sorority/fraternity I accept membership from for the purposes of verifying the attainment of minimum standards as well as awards and recognition. I understand that by checking the box below and entering my name in the text box, I consent to this release of information throughout my enrollment at the University of Miami unless my membership in this organization ceases and I contact the Dean of Students Office to rescind this agreement.
