Why do people feel like they need to PROVE their membership?
4 - 5 pm
Organizations define how people act. Social identity theory suggests that people represent the organizations in which they are a part of through their attitudes, beliefs, actions, and behaviors. Membership in the organization gives the individual a social identity and that identity shapes the behavior of the individual. When organizations create a structure where membership is guaranteed, moreguaranteed more people are likely to join the organization and believe that they belong to the group. When individuals associate with an organization, they are often choosing to be a part of something bigger than themselves. The standards your organization sets for membership should determine who can belong and there is nothing else to PROVE.

National Gordie Day is held on the Thursday of National Hazing Prevention Week to remember and raise awareness of the dangers of hazing and alcohol. This interactive program educates students on the relationship between alcohol and hazing, demonstrates how to measure a standard drink in our “bartender school,” and teaches students to identify the signs of alcohol overdose using “PUBS.” Students will leave the program motivated to be active bystanders by monitoring impaired peers for signs of overdose, never leaving anyone alone to sleep it off, and intervening when they are concerned about hazing.

Hazing is any action or situation on or off-campus that intentionally, knowingly or recklessly endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student or that willfully destroys or removes public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission to, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in, any organization operating under the sanction of or recognized by the university.
Any such activity shall be presumed to be forced regardless of the individual’s willingness to participate.
55% of students experienced hazing
but only 9% identified they were hazed or considered themsevles to have been when asked directly.

Scotty wants to remind you that hazing is not effective for group bonding.
There are better ways to build healthy groups and teams.
- Participate in community service projects together.
- Identify common times for new and returning members to hang out, like group meals, studying, workout out, and touring campus.
- Work on personal development through activities, like vision boards, goal setting, etc.
- Utilize campus resources together.
