HAZING HOTLINE, (1-888)NOT-HAZE), ENTERS 2ND YEAR

The National Anti-Hazing Hotline (1-888-668-4293) is now entering its second year in existence.  Twenty-seven national Greek organizations, including 17 men’s groups and 10 women’s groups, sponsored the first-year of the Hotline.  All 27 original sponsors return as sponsors for the second year.  New sponsors are welcome for the Hotline, which is monitored by attorneys at Manley Burke.  The system received approximately 150 hazing calls in its first year, some of which were for information only, some were pranks, but many were serious calls. All calls are recorded and, when applicable, forwarded to the national organization involved.  The national organization then investigates the hazing allegations.  For more information or to learn how to become a sponsor, call Dan McCarthy at (513) 721-5525 or Norval Stephens, Chairman of the Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation, who sparked the idea for the Hotline, at (847) 382-1588.
