Bill > HRes760

This resolution supports the designation of the week of September 22 through September 26, 2025, as "National Hazing Awareness Week" by highlighting the serious problem of hazing in educational institutions, particularly on college campuses. The resolution defines hazing as an intentional act committed during initiation or membership in a student organization that creates a risk of physical or psychological harm, noting that 55 percent of college students involved in extracurricular activities have experienced hazing. It references the Stop Campus Hazing Act, which aims to increase transparency and accountability in addressing hazing, and memorializes numerous students who have died or suffered severe injuries as a result of hazing practices. The resolution calls for broad hazing prevention education that includes students, staff, administrators, faculty, and alumni, emphasizing that hazing prevention is an ongoing commitment beyond a single week of awareness. By supporting this designation, the House of Representatives encourages people across the United States to promote hazing awareness and prevention, recognizing the lasting and potentially deadly impact of these harmful practices.
