Hazing is prohibited by state law in Connecticut. Yale policy, as outlined on the Office of the Secretary website, goes beyond these state laws. In its definition of hazing, Yale’s policy prohibits any actions that “…intimidate, denigrate, or humiliate third parties…” who witness hazing activities. Yale’s policy makes clear that both individuals (officers and members) and organizations with any level of involvement in these behaviors “will be held responsible for hazing violations.”
