Hazing does not just happen in Greek-lettered organizations, and it does not start when a student enters the college or university setting. Elements of hazing can appear in any group setting because it is an organizational culture issue. Hazing can take many forms, and it may present itself as \u201ctradition\u201d or \u201crituals.\u201d In Greek Life at Delta State University, we believe in \u201crespect over rituals\u201d because true team spirit is built on trust.<\/p>\n<p>Our Greek-lettered councils, the College Panhellenic Council (CPH), Interfraternity Council (IFC), and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), believe in the tenets of the Stop Hazing Pledge Campaign and as students leaders, we strive to lead by example by promoting healthy group dynamics in every space we are members of in addition to creating\u00a0healthy, safe, and inclusive environments for all.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stop Campus Hazing Act (January 2024) <a href=\"https:\/\/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.congress.gov%2F118%2Fbills%2Fhr5646%2FBILLS-118hr5646enr.xml&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cgbraggs%40deltastate.edu%7Cd2c4141d967346bc87cb08de0075fb0e%7Ceba10250257b4cb99814bb2167b4d99d%7C0%7C0%7C638948703915823726%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=nk9wTco96HOwuCb6s8haqrB%2BgPpRU%2FOMDC%2BSlqPKkMQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\">H.
