“Demon Deacons should not be demeaned or exposed to harm when pursuing involvement at Wake Forest University.”
The majority of Demon Deacons find community and a sense of satisfaction while getting involved at Wake Forest (2023 Campus Engagement Assessment). Our goal is to ensure that the pursuit of belonging for all of our students is one that is safe, healthy and productive. To meet this goal means creating a campus community without hazing!
