ANTI-HAZING HOTLINE ADDS SPONSORS, DEDICATED WEBPAGE

Daniel McCarthy, Manley Burke

The collegiate Greek Anti-Hazing Hotline, launched in 2007, now has 38 member fraternities and sororities representing more than 35% of all undergraduate Greek letter members.

The Hotline welcomed its newest member, Omega Phi Beta, the first member from the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations.  National President  Monserrat Cabral states, “Omega Phi Beta is proud to be the first NALFO group to partner with the Anti-Hazing Hotline.  Through this partnership, we strengthen our commitment to combat any activity that promotes or puts at risk the physical, emotional and mental health of any individual.  We strive to provide our current and prospective members with an outlet for positive self-expression and growth, as we believe that true sisterhood is nurtured in an atmosphere where social and moral responsibility is emphasized and valued.”

In addition to the telephone hotline, there is a new web page with the ability to report hazing anonymously through the site.  The link is http://fraternallaw.com/contact/anti-hazing-hotline.

All calls and online reports are sent to the Manley Burke law office in Cincinnati, Ohio.  The hazing reports are then relayed immediately to the headquarters of the group allegedly involved together with a summary of the hazing law in the jurisdiction of the report. Typically, the headquarters of the fraternity or sorority will immediately call the chapter and send an officer to investigate.  If the caller reports a Greek organization that is not a hotline member, a club or athletic team, the report is forwarded to the Greek organization or to the institution.
