About the Stop Campus Hazing Act
The Stop Campus Hazing Act was enacted in response to a growing number of high-profile hazing incidents that resulted in serious harm—and in some cases, death—of college students across the United States. These tragedies highlighted persistent gaps in prevention, education, and institutional accountability, particularly around transparency and consistency in how hazing is defined, reported, and addressed on campuses.

Key Reasons for the Law
- Student deaths and serious injuries linked to hazing, especially within fraternities, athletic teams, and student organizations.
- Inconsistent state laws and institutional policies left many campuses unprepared or under-equipped to prevent hazing.
- Lack of public reporting made it difficult for students and families to assess the culture or risks associated with specific organizations or campuses.
- Increasing national attention from media, advocacy groups, and student safety coalitions demanding federal action.
