Hazing Policy as stated in the Student Conduct Code

SOURCEhttp://www.srr.fsu.edu/conduct/download.htm

Any group or individual action or activity that inflicts or intends to inflict physical or mental harm or discomfort or which may demean, disgrace, or degrade any person, regardless of location, intent, or consent of participant(s). Although hazing is related to a person's initiation or admission into, or affiliation with, any student group or organization, it is not necessary to have direct proof that a person's initiation or continued membership is contingent upon participation in the activity for a charge of hazing to be upheld. The actions of either active or associate members (pledges) of an organization may be considered hazing. Hazing includes, but is not limited to:

  1. Interference with a student's academic performance.
  1. Forced consumption of any food, alcohol, other drugs, or any other substance.
  1. Forced physical activity, such as calisthenics.
  1. Deprivation of food or sleep.
  1. Kidnapping.
  1. Any activity that would subject the individual to embarrassment or humiliation.
