Official Statement Against Hazing
Sigma Xi Sigma has a membership intake policy that forbids all forms of hazing. Prospective members are directed to refuse to participate in any hazing activity and are directed to report all hazing and hazing attempts to the proper authorities. Members receive instructions in the intake process to not engage in any time of hazing activities. The Eminence has the authority to discipline any member who does not follow the written intake procedure or violates the sorority’s policy against hazing. This authority includes the power to suspend and the power to set conditions for reinstatement.
Sigma Xi Sigma cooperates with all civil and university authorities in the investigation of all alleged hazing incidents. Members and prospective members will be held responsible to the sorority for violations of policies against hazing. The sorority will pursue to the fullest extent allowed by law, to obtain indemnification for damages caused by the activities of the members or prospective members who participate in illegal, unauthorized, or prohibited conduct despite notice to refrain from such conduct.
Hazing Policy
Sigma Xi Sigma Sorority, Incorporated (the “Sorority”) has designed a process for the selection, intake, and education of women who aspire to membership in the Sorority.
The goal of the process is to inform new members of the history, policies, and procedures important to membership in the Sorority.
Potential members of the Sorority have the right to participate in the process in environments that are not intentionally harmful.
Individuals who engage in hazing activities risk sanctions by the Sorority and criminal sanctions.
Hazing in any form or fashion is contrary to the philosophy and objectives of Sigma Xi Sigma Sorority, Incorporated, and as such, the Sorority emphatically prohibits and denounces hazing.
