Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., has a membership intake policy which forbids all forms of hazing. Each prospective member is advised in writing that membership in Zeta does not require subjecting oneself to 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. The International President 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.
Each prospective member is informed that hazing is against the sorority’s rules. Prospective members are directed to walk away from any hazing activity and to report all attempts to haze to the proper authorities.
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., 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 and the sorority will pursue to the full 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.
The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Epsilon Alpha Epsilon Zeta Chapter and all affiliated members strictly adhere to the aforementioned policy. The mission of Finer Women Don’t Haze (FWDH) is to educate the sisterhood and community to be advocates against hazing and the damaging lifelong effects of hazing. We have a clear vision to eliminate all forms of hazing while building a stronger and more unified sisterhood. Hazing is deeper than one thinks. We acknowledge and irrevocably discourage subtle hazing, mental hazing, physical or violent hazing, cyber-bullying, and generational hazing.
All members of the Sorority have a duty to immediately report any hazing activities or suspected MIP violations as soon as they become aware of them. Failure to report such incidents may result in disciplinary action. Reports of hazing or suspected MIP violations will be treated with confidentiality to the fullest extent possible.
Retaliation against anyone who reports hazing activities or suspected MIP violations is prohibited. Anyone who retaliates against such an individual will be subject to disciplinary action.
