UMD Cracks Down On Hazing

The department is focusing on educating students about the dangers of hazing through informational programs, such as Hazing Prevention Week.

_{Panhellenic Association President Marie LaMonica believes the incidents that occurred this past year "brought to light" issues that occur regularly within the Greek Community.}

_{During Hazing Prevention Week, the Department of Fraternity & Sorority Life administration also announced the possibility of a new rule that would "sanction the whole council for the acts of one organization," according to Elizabeth Fadju, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., and attendee of a Greek Community Leaders meeting.}

_{The new rule would punish all members of a Greek council because of the hazing actions of a single fraternity or sorority.}

_{For students involved in Greek life, the rule would illustrate the administration's firm stance against hazing, but could cause controversy within the Greek Community.}
