Report Hazing
The Demon Deacon community is a community of care. Part of that ethos of care means being an active bystander and working together to report acts of hazing. The various reporting options are designed to ensure a comprehensive approach to reporting hazing. Every hazing allegation reported is investigated by University officials and appropriate law enforcement if applicable.
